The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has
selected NIC Inc.’s RxGov as its prescription drug monitoring
program (PDMP). The program will launch this fall to assist the
State in continuing its fight against the opioid crisis by
providing better access to the State’s prescription drug data.
The platform is an addition to Maine’s ongoing partnership with
NIC Maine (formerly known as Maine Information Network), which has
operated InforME on behalf of the State of Maine for 21 years. The
project kicked off in April and will launch this fall.
“NIC is excited to add the RxGov PDMP to our suite of solutions
for the State of Maine,” said Dan Andrews, General Manager for NIC
Maine. “Helping the State battle the opioid epidemic is just
another way we can assist in serving the citizens of Maine, and we
believe that delivering prescription drug data is critical to our
mission.”
RxGov will provide the State with enhanced data visualizations,
benchmarking, analytics and greater access to data for PDMP
administrators to provide better oversight, more transparency and
identify prescribing trends. In addition, NIC will work with
stakeholders throughout the state to integrate the application into
providers’ electronic health record systems.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with NIC and
InforME,” said Jessica Pollard, Ph.D., DHHS Office of Behavioral
Health Director. “In keeping with our goals of reporting actionable
data back to providers and developing policy driven by meaningful
analytics, the RxGov toolset will bring a robust set of
capabilities to Maine to help us in our fight against the opioid
crisis.”
NIC has been providing PDMP systems and related technology since
2011, with longstanding partnerships in Montana, Wisconsin and
Utah. In 2019, the RxGov PDMP was selected by the State of Maryland
and the State of Nebraska to further efforts in curbing the opioid
epidemic.
