A paper prescription pad is a liability you no longer have to carry
A stolen pad, a forged signature, a script that cannot be traced. Paper leaves your DEA number exposed and your audit trail in a drawer. HARRIS CareTracker EPCS lets you prescribe controlled substances electronically with clearer visibility, hardened safeguards, and tighter control than any prescription pad can offer.
Trusted
Paper Prescribing Puts your License on the Honor System
A controlled substance script on paper trusts that nobody copies the pad, lifts your DEA number, or alters the dose on the way to the pharmacy. When a question comes, the proof of who signed what and when sits in handwriting and filing cabinets, if it can be found at all.
Regulators expect a clean, provable record for every controlled substance you authorize. Paper cannot give you that, and reconstructing it after the fact is the kind of work no practice has time for.
Why EPCS is the Safer Way to Prescribe
Electronic prescribing for controlled substances protects your practice in ways paper cannot. HARRIS CareTracker EPCS pairs identity checking, prescription validation, and clear reporting, so your team manages controlled substance prescriptions with a safer process that also supports patient care and regulatory compliance.
Two factor authentication
Complete DEA required authentication with a personal passphrase and a secure token before signing any controlled substance prescription, so only the authorized prescriber can act under their own credentials.
One click signing
Review and electronically sign prescription requests in a single step, whether you are in the office or working remotely, so security does not cost you speed.
Security validation
View prescription requests and confirm they were reviewed and signed by authorized prescribers, so nothing reaches a pharmacy without the right hands on it.
Automatic audit history
Cut paperwork and keep a full DEA audit history that builds itself inside the prescribing workflow, so the record is ready the moment anyone asks for it.
More Simplicity and more Security in the Same Step
EPCS helps providers save time while following state and federal requirements for controlled substance prescribing. The software joins simple electronic signing with two factor authentication, prescription validation, and automatic record keeping, so meeting the rules and moving fast stop pulling against each other.
Your team gets a prescribing process that is easier to manage, safer to use, and well suited to the way clinicians actually work today. The compliance happens inside the workflow, not as a separate chore bolted onto it.
Protection that Reaches the Whole Practice
EPCS is available within HARRIS CareTracker software bundles, including a customizable EHR built to support healthier clinical outcomes. The EHR automates tasks such as immunization reporting, population health management, Promoting Interoperability support, and clinical data tracking, so your team works from connected information with fewer inconsistencies.
The support reaches past the EHR. HARRIS CareTracker connects clinical tools, patient experience solutions, and medical billing software in one cloud suite, so your practice runs clinical, administrative, and financial work from a single platform with practice management and revenue cycle tracking in the same place.
Retire the Prescription Pad and the Risk that Comes with it
HARRIS CareTracker EPCS verifies the prescriber, validates the prescription, sends it electronically, and keeps a DEA ready audit history on its own. Prescribe controlled substances with the speed your day demands and the proof your license deserves.
