Avella Launches Management Mobile App for Physicians

Avella announced that it has launched a new mobile app aimed at care providers who manage patients dealing with chronic pain or addiction to pain medication. This app helps providers with the opioid epidemic and tightening regulations around the prescribing of certain pain medications.

Avella’s app provides information about a variety of pain and addiction management medications available from different manufacturers. Prescribers can search for clinical information by medication name or category. Users can also access powerful tools like opioid converters, which can be used to transition patients to new medications while maintaining safety and efficacy of treatment, along with drug dosage calculators.

“Prescribing pain medications has always been a difficult task given the safety risks, addiction potential and side effects of certain powerful narcotics,” said Eric Sredzinski, Pharm.D, EVP of Clinical Affairs and Quality Assurance Program Director for Avella. “Today it is more challenging than ever, which is why we’re looking to support our provider partners as they help patients manage chronic pain while preventing the devastating impact of opioid addiction.”
