EPCS Waivers Guidance

March 18, 2016

New York Electronic Prescribing Waivers Guidance for Specific Types of Prescriptions The New York Department of Health, pursuant to questions received from NCPDP members as well as other industry stakeholders, has released guidance as to how to handle specific types of prescriptions that currently are not well suited to electronic prescribing. Said guidance waives, until March 27, 2017, the requirement that these specific prescription types be electronically prescribed as required by New York’s iSTOP law. The key portion of this guidance is reproduced below. The New York Commissioner of Health, in a letter, has waived the following circumstances from the requirements of electronic prescribing:

Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance, containing two (2) or more products, which is compounded by a pharmacist.
Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance to be compounded for the direct administration to a patient by parenteral, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intraspinal infusion.
Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance that contains long or complicated directions.
Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance that requires a prescription to contain certain elements required by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that are not able to be accomplished with electronic prescribing.
Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance under approved protocols under expedited partner therapy, collaborative drug management or in response to a public health emergency that would allow a non-patient specific prescription.
Any practitioner prescribing an opioid antagonist that would allow a non-patient specific prescription.
Any practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance under a research protocol.
A practitioner prescribing a controlled or non-controlled substance either through an Official New York State Prescription form or an oral prescription communicated to a pharmacist serving as a vendor of pharmaceutical services, by an agent who is a health care practitioner, for patients in nursing homes and residential health care facilities as defined in section twenty-eight hundred one of the public health law.
A pharmacist dispensing controlled and non-controlled substance compounded prescriptions, prescriptions containing long or complicated directions, and prescriptions containing certain elements required by the FDA or any other governmental agency that are not able to be accomplished with electronic prescribing.
A pharmacist dispensing prescriptions issued under a research protocol, or under approved protocols for expedited partner therapy, or for collaborative drug management.
A pharmacist dispensing non-patient specific prescriptions, including opioid antagonists, or prescriptions issued in response to a public health emergency issued.
A pharmacist serving as a vendor of pharmaceutical services dispensing a controlled or non-controlled substance through an Official New York State Prescription form or an oral prescription communicated by an agent who is a health care practitioner, for patients in nursing homes and residential health care facilities as defined in section twenty-eight hundred one of the public health law.Practitioners issuing prescriptions in the above-listed exceptional circumstances may either use the Official New York State Prescription Form or issue an oral prescription. Pharmacists may dispense prescriptions issued on the Official New York State Prescription Form or oral prescriptions in the above-listed exceptional circumstances.

This waiver for the above-listed exceptional circumstances shall be effective until March 27, 2017.

One Time Passwords for EPCS/DEA Prescription Orders

ADL Data has added Onetime Passwords to their Electronic Prescribing software. This allows physicians to electronically sign electronic Rx Orders for Prescriptions and DEA medications. The passwords are generated on a Hybrid PKI/OTP Token (Fob) that supports both password display and USB connection.

A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital device. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) password-based authentication; the one time password is guaranteed to meet the 2-FA requirements as it meets both:

Factor 1: Something a person has (such as a small keyring fob device with the OTP calculator built into it, or a smartcard or specific cellphone) and
Factor 2: Something the user knows (such as a PIN).

Physicians can enroll for the service at: //www.identrust.com/igc/adl/index.html

ADL receives DEA Certification for ePrescribing

Using the ADL Data Systems EHR/Physicians Order Entry, you can securely transmit e-prescriptions for DEA Schedule II-V drugs. The ability to transmit prescriptions electronically between physicians, nursing home and pharmacies improves the accuracy of the prescribing process and saves time.

The EPCS feature eliminates the need to print controlled substance prescriptions simplifying the process for physicians, nurses and pharmacists. ePrescribing DEA drugs eliminates the possible misuse of printed prescriptions.
