Imprivata Launches EPCS Support Hub, EPCS Ready
Imprivata has launched an online resource to help health organizations meet the requirements of a new federal law mandating the use of e-prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) for all Medicare Part D subscriptions. The support hub, called “EPCS Ready“,  includes all the information needed to comply with the new federal law by the January 2021 deadline. It also includes insights & lessons learned from EPCS leaders, including the CMIO of Hartford HealthCare – where EPCS was implemented in the wake of a state mandate.

EPCS Ready Overview

To comply with federal and state EPCS laws, healthcare delivery organizations and providers must meet the DEA requirements for EPCS, which are very specific and require a detailed, highly collaborative cross-functional project plan. EPCS Ready is designed to help healthcare organizations understand the DEA requirements and achieve EPCS success, starting with implementing the right technologies and processes to achieve compliance.

The comprehensive online hub includes:

– EPCS readiness guide

– DEA requirements

– Federal and state regulations

– Blueprint for EPCS success

– Steps to get started with EPCS

“For our organization, the switch to EPCS was state mandated – but we were heading down that path anyway because of the opioid crisis,” said Dr. Spencer Erman, CMIO at Hartford HealthCare. “Our leadership and providers were motivated to make it happen because we want to do our part to help combat opioid and substance abuse – and this is one very big way we can help. Imprivata made it easy for us to meet all the requirements while delivering a seamless EPCS workflow.”
