This presentation discusses electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) using the CureMD EHR system. It covers the necessity and benefits of EPCS, legal and social implications, requirements, and enrollment and authorization processes. Key points include how EPCS allows electronic prescribing of Schedule II-V drugs, reduces errors and misuse compared to paper, and helps prevent doctor shopping through prescription monitoring. The presentation demonstrates how to e-prescribe controlled substances within CureMD, including two-factor authentication. It addresses identity proofing and the enrollment steps providers must complete to use EPCS.
