AI Summary
This bill enhances access to prescription information and overdose reporting for care coordination. Specifically, it allows healthcare providers to directly access data from the prescription monitoring program through their electronic medical records, health information exchanges, or other software systems. This is intended to improve the ease of access and utilization of the prescription data for treatment, diagnosis, and healthcare operations. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to examine the prescribing and treatment history of persons who suffered fatal or non-fatal opioid overdoses in Massachusetts from 2013 to 2020, and to publish a report on the trends identified through this examination.
