NarxCare
NarxCare is an advanced analytics tool developed by Appriss Health to address the growing problem of prescription drug abuse. It is designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive view of a patient's controlled substance use, helping them make more informed decisions about prescribing and dispensing medications.
Overview[edit | edit source]
NarxCare utilizes, analyzes, and presents data from Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) in a user-friendly format. It uses sophisticated algorithms and analytics to identify and predict potential drug misuse, abuse, and overdose. The tool also provides support resources for patients at risk, including substance use disorder education, treatment options, and overdose reversal interventions.

NarxCare offers several key features to healthcare providers:
- Narx Scores: These scores are calculated based on the patient's history of narcotic, sedative, and stimulant medications. They help providers assess the potential risk of overdose or substance misuse.

- Patient Report: This comprehensive report includes the patient's prescription history, Narx Scores, Overdose Risk Score, and alerts for potential drug interactions or duplicate therapies.
- Interactive Visualizations: These visualizations help providers understand the patient's prescription history and identify patterns of potential misuse or abuse.
Usage[edit | edit source]
