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.

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 scarce resources.

HTI-4 Final Rule  
The Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator (ASTP/ONC) has finalized HTI-4, shifting from voluntary to mandatory requirements for EHR vendors. This rule requires integration of real-time prescription benefit (RTPB) checks and electronic prior authorization (ePA) directly into provider workflows.  

E-Prescribing Standard Upgrades
HTI-4 mandates new FHIR-based API standards for electronic prescribing, including updated NCPDP SCRIPT standard version 2023011. Juggling multiple compliance requirements represents a massive development undertaking for vendors. DrFirst's proven e-prescribing platform handles these regulatory complexities, so you can focus on your core business. 

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. Learn more

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.

DrFirst Helps You Comply with EPCS 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.

In addition, to handle the opioid epidemic, prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) are operated and mandated at the state level to ensure prescribers have the information they need to identify patients who are addicted, or at risk of becoming addicted, to these dangerous drugs.

Ready for Liftoff? HTI-4 as a Catalyst for Medication Management Innovation

At first glance, the recently finalized Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI-4) rule might seem like another straightforward set of regulatory requirements. But in the hands of forward-thinking health IT and EHR vendors, it can be so much more.

Each phase takes time, and delays compound quickly. Our infographic makes it easy for you to evaluate whether your team can do the work without tearing up your development roadmap and delaying other projects.
