Regulatory Compliance

Staying Ahead of E-prescribing Requirements

Are Your Systems Compliant?

If your platform isn’t compliant with the latest industry and regulatory certifications, your customers are at risk, putting your customer retention in jeopardy as well.

ONC HTI-1 Final Rule 

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has finalized new standards for health IT certification, including lengthy requirements for use of AI in healthcare workflows.  

DrFirst’s clinical-grade AI has a 10-year track record of patient safety and clinician efficiency. 

E-Prescribing Standard Upgrades 
CMS has issued a proposed rule that would require adoption of new versions of standards for many core medication transactions, including: Electronic Prescribing, Medication History, Formulary & Benefits, Electronic Prior Authorization, and Real-Time Prescription Benefits.

EPCS and PDMP Mandates
DrFirst was the first company in the nation to have a certified EPCS solution and laid the groundwork for electronic prescribing of controlled substances. Since EPCS became legalized in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, a majority of states have gone on to mandate the use of EPCS for all controlled substances.

Since January 1, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all controlled substance prescriptions under the Medicare Part D drug plan to be transmitted electronically.  

With standards and regulatory requirements changing constantly, extensive legal, compliance, and product development resources are necessary to stay current. This burden challenges your roadmap commitments, competing priorities, and already scare resources.

State EPCS and PDMP Mandates

DrFirst has been at the forefront of electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) since it sent the nation’s first electronic prescription of a controlled substance. With EPCS legalized nationally, a majority of states have since mandated the use of EPCS for all controlled substances. View Map

Federal EPCS Compliance

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) delayed the mandate deadline to January 1, 2023, for the SUPPORT Act. This requires all controlled substance prescriptions under Medicare’s Part D drug plan to be transmitted electronically.

With standards and regulatory requirements changing constantly, extensive legal, compliance, and product development resources are necessary to stay current. This burden challenges your roadmap commitments, competing priorities, and already scare resources.
