The National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) SCRIPT v10.6 standard for E-prescribing allows a custom note to be sent to the pharmacist/pharmacy personnel using the Notes field. This field is designed to convey information to the pharmacist/pharmacy personnel only and should not contain redundant or conflicting information that has already been entered in any of the other designated fields within the prescription.

You must register an additional token under the following circumstances:

• If your hard token is replaced for any reason
• If you upgrade the mobile device that contains your soft token application

This lesson will describe the steps necessary to respond to an EPCS refill request.  *Note: Each provider must have an EPCS license and must have completed the registration and onboarding process prior to gaining the functionality to respond to EPCS refill requests.

SOAPware is working towards completing development on our brand new ePrescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) update to allow all New York providers to meet the requirements of I-STOP prior to the March 27, 2016 deadline. Our solution to EPCS is fully integrated with SOAPware and requires minimal changes to your existing workflow. SOAPware will allow providers to enable EPCS through a streamlined sign-up process. Please review the information below on how to prepare for the requirements of I-STOP.
