How e-prescribing technology solutions can cut paper prescriptions, boost provider and patient satisfaction

May 15, 2018

Before implementing electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS), providers at Gundersen Health System were required to use paper prescriptions, resulting in a frustrating workflow that affected physicians and patients. Patients were required to travel long distances to receive paper prescriptions and the hospital faced an increased risk of theft as paper prescriptions were printed in centralized locations. To address this issue, Gundersen partnered with Imprivata to implement Confirm ID for EPCS. The system allowed Gundersen’s providers to reduce paper prescriptions and improve workflow efficiency while meeting Drug Enforcement Administration requirements.
