Epic's solution.....all non-scheduled scripts automatically default to eprescribe (you never see the New Crop interface) and all scheduled drugs automatically default to print to regular paper which is then wet-signed and faxed by staff to the pharmacy. You do have the ability to change the default each time so that any script can be printed to the secure paper script printer. Non-scheduled drugs print out with my named digitally signed and scheduled drugs print without a signature and are then signed and handed to the patient. For entities such as the VA which apparently still cannot handle eprescribing, you get a pop-up saying the script cannot be eprescribed and it then automatically defaults to the secured paper script. All requests for refills come into my Epic In-Basket and again I never see the New Crop interface. They are approved and sent back via the In-Basket and are recorded in the medication list as last date refilled.
