PMP Gateway™ integrates multi-state prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) intelligence into existing clinical workflows, improving access and saving time for care team members. Historically, prescribers and pharmacists were tasked with logging into state databases to retrieve controlled substance dispensation information before writing or filling a prescription, consuming valuable time that could be better spent with patients. PMP Gateway delivers full transparency into prescription drug monitoring program data and analytics by integrating directly into the workflows of 500+ clinical systems including electronic health records, pharmacy management systems and health information exchanges – saving an average of four minutes per patient search, making it easier to comply and improve patient safety. The integration is complete. More details to come on how to acquire the module and services.

We were doing some more testing this morning on the Bamboo integration. We are moving from testing today to production. I was asked what state would be the first to onboard. Florida was picked as the pilot state.

I am saying no because the powers to be changed the architecture of the program. The infrastructure has moved away from raw GLOBALS[‘’] to using the Symfony wrapper globalsbag-\>(). Now all the God Globals are wrapped and can’t be accessed directly. The module will need to be updated to convert all of the global calls to globalbag-\>() calls. And any SESSION will need to call the wrapper for it. That is the work that needs to be done to get the module ready for v8.x ---
