State program tracks Schedule II drugs.
By implementing the multiple copy prescription program, Indiana demonstrates its concern with the problems of doctor shoppers and physicians involved with abuse. By trying to track illegal diversion of Schedule II drugs, states that have implemented tracking programs are trying to rid the streets of illicit drug use. When it is time to renew the law, the state should consider using modern computer technology. Indiana's program could be even more effective if it incorporated electronic data transfer.
