What is everyone in New York State planning on doing for the March 27, 2016 mandate. Do we know if GE will truly be ready for it or not?

Our site actually had a kick-off call for EPCS yesterday. GE has still not officially released the LA version though so we are waiting to hear on that. If we don't get a release date soon, then GE needs to give us the documentation to submit for waivers like they did last year.

Our kickoff call is scheduled for Feb 16th - but our practice already applied for the E-Prescribing Waiver with the state and it was approved today. Our new mandatory date is March 26th 2017.

Would you mind terribly sharing what you stated in your waiver, would greatly appreciate it!!

@dlewis - this is the process we used and you just have to answer some questions and state technical limitations for the reason for the waiver and if you are creating a waiver for the practice you need to have each doctor sign and date the petition.
