EHR Integration
Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) and Bamboo Health
The Alabama Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) has partnered with Bamboo Health to utilize, analyze, and present information from the Alabama PDMP into the clinical workflow of all eligible prescribers and pharmacists in Alabama via Bamboo Health's PMP Gateway and NarxCare platforms.
PMP Gateway integrates Alabama PDMP information as well as NarxCare into EHR and pharmacy management systems to empower clinicians to access potential unintentional overdose risk at the point of care.
NarxCare equips clinicians and care teams with the advanced analytics, tools, and technology they need to make better decisions about patient care. For more information on NarxCare, please visit Bamboo Health.
By obtaining Alabama PDMP prescriptions information and NarxCare through PMP Gateway, which can include data from neighboring states, this one-click workflow process eliminates the need for prescribers and pharmacists to leave their workflow to access the Alabama PDMP website to request a patient's controlled substance prescription history.
Alabama PDMP Information and NarxCare will be made available at no cost to all Alabama healthcare providers via their EHR and pharmacy management system vendors and PMP Gateway. It is important to note, however, that not all EHR and pharmacy management system vendors are currently integrated. Your integration process and duration time is dependent upon your provider.
