Customer Relations Database

Currently we cannot track if a client who accesses the SSP has also been tested or has received Narcan.

A central database would not only consolidate services across the agency, but would also be vital to coordinate care and track health outcomes -whether that is attaining an undetectable viral load in the case of HIV or achieving a cure in the case of HCV.
