Premium Content Preview | The Evolving EPCS Landscape: A Prescription for Stopping Opioid Abuse

Article

This new industry briefing from DrFirst highlights trends and advances with electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS), and reveals that retail pharmacies have adopted EPCS technology at a swift pace, while providers lag far behind.

It also shows how prescribers in New York are scrambling to comply with the state’s new EPCS mandate.
