I do not recall reading or seeing anything about this topic.
Currently, 9.5 does not support this capability. We were just wondering if there will be workflow changes - if we hopefully have the capability to trasnmit these prescriptions.
Thanks.
No, 9.8 does not support controlled substance eRx yet.
The pop-up "approval" window you may see when e-prescribing is in the pathway for going in that direction.
My understanding is that this requirement will not be met until CPS 12.

The latest (as of today) from GE:
We plan to implement support for ePrescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) in a Service Pack following the release of EMR 9.9 and CPS 12.1. We are currently targeting end of year to early Q1 2015.
These plans are still somewhat in flux, given our recent pivot to focus on 9.8.X and CPS 12.0.X Service Packs.
