Oh. I thought you meant "computerized", like, no paper or telephone, but just sent by computer. Or Blackberry, LOL! I'm sure it's coming.

The anti-doctor shopping computer systems in the U.S. are spotty and are managed by state governments. According to the DEA, the 26 states that currently have prescription monitoring programs are:

Alabama
California
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Maine
Massachusetts
Michigan
Mississippi
Nevada
New Mexico
New York
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wyoming
