Opioid program pilots · public agencies
What working with IntellaRx looks like
Working with IntellaRx starts with a scoping conversation that is free of obligation and leads to a defined pilot, with outcome measures agreed before the program starts and its data described precisely enough for your counsel. The agency brings a named clinical or public-health owner, a defined population and geography, and a route for participants to raise a problem.
IntellaRx is a nonprofit division of a 501(c)(3) foundation. Its customer is the public agency, and the work is designed to be inspected — by your counsel, your procurement office and your epidemiologists.

- How engagement works — from first conversation to a running pilot.
- What we do and do not do — the scope boundary, in plain language.
- Data governance — how information is handled, minimized and separated.
- Measurement and evaluation — the outcomes we think you should hold us to.
- Pilot design — what a defensible first phase looks like.
Does HIPAA or 42 CFR Part 2 apply to an opioid program?
Agencies ask early which confidentiality regimes apply to a program like this. We will not answer that for you, and you should be wary of any vendor who does. Whether HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, state public-health confidentiality law, corrections-specific rules or public records law apply to a particular flow of information depends on the agency, the population and the arrangement. Those determinations belong to your counsel.
What we will do is describe precisely what data the program touches, where it comes from, who can see it and how long it is kept, in enough detail that your counsel can make the determination. That is what the data governance page is for.
What does an agency need to start an opioid program pilot?
- A named clinical or public-health owner, not only a procurement contact.
- A defined population and a defined geography, so the pilot can be evaluated against something.
- Agreement on the outcome measures before the program starts, including the ones that could make it look bad.
- A route for the people in the program to raise a problem and have it heard.
