The MN APRN Coalition has been asked to share the following information

Two new e-prescribing resources are now available on the Minnesota Department of Health's e-prescribing webpage.

The FAQ for e-Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) provides general information on EPCS and the Minnesota e-Prescribing Mandate Factsheet summarizes the Minnesota Statutes 62J.42 that requires the e-prescribing of all prescriptions including controlled substances. (FAQ and Factsheet are also attached)

EPCS helps to reduce fraud and abuse of controlled substance and is one way to use e-health to prevent and respond to the opioid misuse and overdose.

If you have questions please call 651-201-5979.
