Together, we can help address this most serious threat to the health and safety of all of the citizens of Delaware.”

 This NarxCare enterprise license agreement enables Delaware to deliver access to all of the features and functions of NarxCare in a consistent look and feel for users who access the solution through their state PDMP web portal. It also enables delivery of NarxCare within EHRs and pharmacy management systems for those prescribers and dispensers in Delaware that choose to access NarxCare through integration within their healthcare IT system via Appriss Health’s PMP Gateway solution.

 “This agreement with Delaware marks a significant milestone in the evolution and growth of PDMPs nationwide,” said Rob Cohen, President, Appriss Health. “The NarxCare substance use disorder platform supports state PDMPs and their efforts to maximize the effectiveness of their programs.
