We would like to turn on the feature to "Allow electronic prescribing for medications in controlled substance schedule 2".
It doesn't seem like it should be as simple as checking a box. Is there anything that we need to prepare for when we turn this on? Any changes in workflow or does it work exactly like all other e-scribed Rx's?
Just looking for some input if anyone has encountered problems when turning this feature on.

Isn't this only available in 12.2?

We are on 12.0.10 and in Admin under "Electronic Prescriptions" there is a check box that can be marked to "Allow".....so I assume that it works. But that is why I am looking for feedback before I "check the box" 🙂

Yes it requires 12.2. Your state probably also requires a method for biometric identification, Active Directory integration for authentication, and quite a few other requirements.

There is much more to it than just checking the box. Yes the GE requirements are 12.2 and that includes a new prescription form and workflow. The FDA requires biometric authentication which requires a contract with Imprivada as well as a mechanism to dual authenticate. You may want to get on the engage website and review the EPCS information that GE has posted there. This is satill in the limited availability stage and has not been released to general availability yet. We are anxious to get it too. Lots of work and set up that will need to be done.

I knew it couldn't be as simple as checking a box! But why must they tease us with the check box if it is not even available until 12.2!!
Thanks for the input on where to look for more info regarding this!
