Are Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs in the current form unconsitutional?

[juanito]

I understand the need for these programs, but how come the patient can not view a database that collects personal information on them? Wouldn't this be like a credit score that you could never correct or see?

For instance, here is an excerpt from the bill for my state:
ection 20-2-215

Confidentiality of database.

(a) The controlled substances database and all information contained therein and any records maintained by the department or by any entity contracting with the department which is submitted to, maintained, or stored as a part of the controlled substances prescription database is hereby declared privileged and confidential, is not a public record, is not subject to subpoena or discovery in civil proceedings and may only be used for investigatory or evidentiary purposes related to violations of state or federal law and regulatory activities of licensing or regulatory boards of practitioners authorized to prescribe or dispense controlled substances.

So here we have a database that can damage your reputation and health record and you can't even discover what in there even by subpoena from court? Don't you guys find this disturbing? In addition, doctors aren't even allowed to talk to you about it by penalty of a misdemeanor. Isn't this clear abuse of our constitutional rights?
