Exit this survey Controlled Substances Reporting System 1. Default Section Question Title * 1. What is your specialty? Question Title * 2. Until state law created the Controlled Substances Reporting System (CSRS), North Carolina did not report or monitor the prescription of controlled substances. In late 2007, the CSRS began collecting data on Schedule II through Schedule V controlled substances prescribed by North Carolina doctors and dispensed by pharmacies. The goals of the CSRS are:• to identify and prevent diversion of prescribed controlled substances; • to reduce morbidity and mortality from unintentional drug overdoses; • to reduce the costs associated with the misuse and abuse of controlled substances; • to assist clinicians in identifying and referring for treatment patients misusing controlled substances; • to reduce the cost for law enforcement of investigating cases of diversion and misuse; and • to inform the public, including health care professionals, of the use and abuse trends related to prescription drugs. Eligible medical care practitioners and pharmacists may access the CSRS through a secure web portal. The system generates prescribing profiles of controlled substances for all patients in the database who have legally bought these drugs from a pharmacy in the state.
