include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Header" =How to get involved: The Commitment Process= The success of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program initiative relies on the participation of a wide range of stakeholders including Health IT vendors, health systems, standards development organizations, patient advocates, and the general public. Any interested party is invited to get involved in the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, and can choose to either participate as an **Initiative Committed Member**, or **Other Interested Party** if he or she is unable to meet the commitment expectations of a Committed Member.

Also, discussions will be managed via the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Google Group - don't forget to register there, too.

Committed Member
A Committed Member is an organization or individual who has a particular interest in solving the Challenge Statement and reaching the Initiative Goal and commits to actively achieve the deliverables. The nature of the commitment will vary depending on the deliverables, but must be meaningful and relevant. This includes regularly attending workgroup meetings. Some examples of meaningful commitment include, but are not limited to:
 * Testing implementation specifications in the real-world
 * Supporting providers in real-world pilot implementations
 * Writing code for production or test implementations
 * Writing and editing implementation specifications and/or other deliverable documentation
 * Participation in Federal Advisory Committees (FACAs) or their workgroups

Committed organizations or individuals may assign multiple employees to participate in the workgroups or other activities, but will only have one vote in Consensus decisions. When an individual represents an organization, the individual’s vote represents the organization’s vote. Lastly, organizations and individuals should not create “pseudo-organizations” to gain multiple votes in the Consensus Process.

Other Interested Party
If you are unable to join as a fully committed participant or an invited expert, you may also join as an **Other** **Interested Party**. As an “Other Interested Party” you are invited to participate in discussions and can provide comments and feedback by joining the Wiki. However, only Committed Members have voting rights.
