Texas Prescription Monitoring Program

Statewide Integration

 

The 2023 Texas Legislature approved funding for the Texas State Board of Pharmacy to offer statewide integration of the Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) into approved Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Pharmacy Management Systems (PMS) and NarxCare access at no cost to healthcare providers, beginning September 1, 2023.

Statewide integration allows providers immediate access to the PMP through their EHR and/or PMS.

More Information About Statewide Integration

The Texas State Board of Pharmacy has partnered with Bamboo Health to provide this integration to all Texas Healthcare providers utilizing the service called PMP Gateway. PMP Gateway is a multi-state query system that provides access to a majority of state PMPs. PMP Gateway facilitates communication, information transfer, integration, and support for the state approval process, and the EHR and PMS vendor development process.

Integrating TX PMP AWARxE data within an EHR and/or a PMS provides a streamlined clinical workflow for providers. The integration eliminates the need for providers to have to log in separately to the PMP. Instead, the EHR or PMS automatically initiates a patient query and returns the patient's controlled substance prescription record directly within the provider's EHR or PMS.

It is important to note that not all EHR or PMS vendors are currently integrated. Your integration process and duration time is dependent upon your vendor.
