Understanding DEA EPCS Requirements
In the evolving landscape of healthcare regulations, the Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) has gained significant importance. With over half of the states already enforcing legislation mandating EPCS, the pressure is on health IT vendors and healthcare providers to ensure compliance with the Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) stringent requirements. Exostar's ProviderPass offers a comprehensive solution that simplifies the complexities associated with meeting DEA EPCS mandates.
