To address legitimate patient privacy concerns the FLSPMP’s recommends two items. First, the society recommended that law enforcement be required to procure a subpoena before accessing the PDMP database, as required in all other searches per the 4th amendment.
FLSPMP recommends legislators should immediately reinstate the constitutional 4th amendment protections to pain patient’s medical records that they removed last year. These items required the state to first obtain a probable cause subpoena and then attempt to notify the patient and secure their approval to obtain their private medical records.
