Prepare for Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS)

Meet regulatory mandates, improve medication management and safety with EPCS

Here’s How

As of January 1, 2023, CMS began enforcing the SUPPORT Act, which requires ePrescribing of all Medicare Part D controlled prescriptions. Compliance actions for long-term care (LTC) were exempted from that effective date but are scheduled to begin on January 1, 2028.

ePrescribing reduces manual order processing and keeps resident health data accessible

Automated electronic ordering ensures prescriber and data validation which helps reduce errors, adverse drug events and other controlled substance abuses

Making the move to EPCS was necessary, not only to improve the workflow for nurses and physicians, but to move our organization forward on the path to modernization.
