Goals

Objectives

As a Direct Support Organization for the Florida Department of Health, the PDMP Foundation has two main objectives: to raise funds for E-FORCSE, Florida’s PDMP database, and to educate licensed health care providers and law enforcement officials on using the database for managing controlled substances and supporting investigations.

Funding

The yearly cost to operate the PDMP Foundation and the database is approximately $600,000. Funding is solicited from corporations, individuals and law enforcement agencies. By law, the foundation is not permitted to seek funding from any corporation representing the pharmaceutical industry.
To reach its goals the foundation markets its mission to health care practitioners and law enforcement agencies at state and regional conferences and at regulatory board meetings. It provides informational brochures, articles in professional journals and press releases. In addition, as a DSO under a state government agency, it operates under the Florida Sunshine Law. All of the foundation’s board of directors meetings are noticed to the public and its financial records are open under Florida’s public records law.
