• Patient Report: This comprehensive report includes the patient's prescription history, Narx Scores, Overdose Risk Score, and alerts for potential drug interactions or duplicate therapies.
• Interactive Visualizations: These visualizations help providers understand the patient's prescription history and identify patterns of potential misuse or abuse.
