Enabling electronic prescribing for controlled substances remotely: How Renown Health stays compliant and keeps patients and providers safe


This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.


Electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) eliminates paper prescriptions, helping providers deliver care safely and remotely to patients while reducing the need for in-person visits.

But to enable EPCS, organizations must meet unique and specific DEA requirements, which has become particularly challenging in today’s environment. For example, identity proofing providers, enrolling credentials, and using two-factor authentication to sign orders must be adapted for remote scenarios.

In this webinar, Dr. Patrick Woodard, CMIO of Renown Health, discusses his organization’s approach to implementing EPCS, including details about the key policy, process, and technology decisions that Renown Health made to successfully enable EPCS.
