Controlled Substances Evaluation Program (E-FORCSE)
Effective January 1, 2012, and in accordance with s. 456.44(2), Florida Statutes, ALL physicians who prescribe ANY controlled substance as defined in s. 893.03, for the treatment of chronic nonmalignant pain, MUST designate himself or herself as a controlled substance prescribing practitioner on the practitioner profile.
Florida Online Reporting of Controlled Substances Evaluation program (E-FORCSE) is Florida's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). You are able to access a wealth of information by visiting E-FORCSE and the Florida Department of Health.
Health care practitioners can register with E-FORCSE to get access to the dispensing information to help guide their decisions in prescribing and also assist in identifying patients who are "doctor shopping" or trying to obtain multiple prescriptions for the same controlled substances from multiple health care practitioners.
