- About
What is Central Registry?
An automated system to admit and discharge Opioid Treatment Program clients.
Why does BHA have Central Registry?
It is federally-mandated that states maintain an OTP central registry. This system reduces client wait times, provider administrative burden, and improves accuracy. People used to have to email the Colorado’s State Opioid Treatment Authority (SOTA) every time they admitted someone new to an OTP!
Who uses Central Registry?
- Colorado OTP staff including admissions/intake, front desk, and data/technology teams to admit and discharge clients.
- BHA staff to monitor OTPs and resolve admissions conflicts.
How is the data from Central Registry used?
- Data is used by BHA employees to validate that OTP clients are only enrolled at one OTP at a time to avoid duplicate dosing.
- OTP users of the Central Registry can view only the clients enrolled in their OTP and conflicting admissions.
- Data in aggregate (non PHI/PII level data) is sometimes used to do analysis on Colorado OTP usage for program improvement.
Client Care Search
Client Care Search is a system that hospitals and treatment centers use to keep track of open beds. It also helps staff find available spots for people who need care.
