Relating to access of records in controlled substance monitoring

HB 4771 expands access to West Virginia's Controlled Substances Monitoring Database by adding specific healthcare roles: hospital chief medical officers or designated physicians (for patients with hospital admitting privileges), medical school deans (to monitor faculty prescribing), and employer-designated physician reviewers (to track staff prescribing). The bill establishes an advisory committee of medical experts to set parameters for identifying unusual prescribing patterns and reporting them to the Board of Pharmacy. It maintains strict confidentiality rules, requiring data redaction for research sharing and prohibiting civil liability for mandatory reporting. The changes aim to improve monitoring of controlled substance use while limiting access to authorized healthcare and law enforcement personnel.
