Summary of Resources Provided

The eHealth Exchange (eHx) Pilot Project succeeded last year in proof of concept but has been stalled, since then awaiting BJA to sign the DURSA agreement. That has been delayed due to the amount of fees needed along with the signing. In the interim, IJIS staff has spent a significant amount of time exploring eHx integration potential benefits in order to provide justification for BJA to fund it so it can go into production. If the DURSA agreement is signed, the Pilot Project shows much potential for a yearlong evaluation of eHx’s integration value.

During this reporting period, the PDMP and IJIS teams began discussions with representatives from BJA, CDC, eHealth Exchange, and three RxCheck Governance Board member states (California, Illinois, and Nebraska) on this project. At present, the Nebraska PDMP appears to be in the best position to proceed.

eHealth Exchange Integration – Pilot testing in UAT was successfully completed in 2023; however, the IJIS team is unable to move to production since the remaining work cannot be performed until the DURSA is signed by BJA. That said, there have been discussions between IJIS and TTAC teams and a few states to consider the feasibility of doing a state DURSA for a reduced fee to get the project into production and to demonstrate value. A call will be scheduled with Nebraska and the CDC in mid-July to explore this option.

No significant work on eHealth integration was completed during this period since the remaining work cannot be performed until the DURSA is signed by BJA. That said, discussions have been held with the IJIS and PDMP TTAC staffs and representatives from a few states regarding the feasibility of doing a state DURSA for a reduced fee to get the project into production and to demonstrate value. A call will be scheduled with Nebraska and the CDC in mid-July to explore this option.

The PDMP TTAC team has developed working relationships with many key federal partners representing public health and public safety communities and regularly collaborates with numerous national organizations. During this reporting period, the PDMP TTAC staff supported the following national and federal partners:

An in-person meeting of TTA providers has not yet been scheduled; however, the PDMP TTAC staff will participate when the meeting is held.

During the reporting period, the PDMP TTAC team participated in weekly conference calls with BJA leaders to discuss current PDMP projects and activities. In addition, the TTAC team participated in two quarterly COSSUP TTA Collaborative calls with BJA and other TTA providers.
