Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Pin for EPCS

So has anyone figured out where this form to add a pin for EPCS is or will it just pop up tonight at 10PM? Kind of a useless email from AC, or maybe I'm just too critical of half baked info.
Presume you all got the email yesterday about it.

Hi Koby,

Thanks for the heads up, I actually missed the email. I went back and found it.

I fooled around a little bit with the New Crop screen, I could not figure out how to accomplish this either.

As you say, I suspect tomorrow morning we will get the option. Or, possibly more likely, we will not be able to prescribe anything controlled.

Yep, prompted to create a PIN with the first EPCS today. Quite easy.

As long as I do not forget it....

I suppose, except for the fact that one has to already be logged into a certified EHR then already have a secong factor ID ie the Authy App on cell phone, now have to play the game of entering a 6 digit number into Authy App (while the short timer is running) after entering a pin into EPCS. WTF just go to retinal scans already. Wonder if there is any data on number of illegal/hacked controlled substance Rx's by the EPCS system that led to this. Remember somewhere/somebody extolling to 'Save clicks'

This is what it's like -

That explains it, Mel Brooks still up to his old tricks! Was wondering what he was up to.

HaHaHa!
That's the new world we are in.

Will we be able to print controlled substances from V. 11?

I still don't use EPCS and don't intend to do it.

Are we ever going to see V. 11? Or is AC in the process of pulling the plug?

Hi Koby,

You lost me on that one. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely HATE the pin mainly because it actually does CHANGE the workflow. I am going to change my pin number to 1111, so I can just use my left hand. Didn't about that when I made my usual.

But, you have all day to enter the PIN, then the authy app doesn't require a 6-digit number. You just click the button in NC and you click on the Authy App. It actually is much faster now. One used to have to "wake" it up in the morning. It doesn't give you a lot of time I will agree, but usually enough.

If any one wants to see a new EHR and cut your costs in half

So I didn't do this.... but I know of someone who knows someone who changed their PIN to 2-4-3-6. Quick one hand PIN entering ability. Not sure, but the friend of the friend says you can't do the same number twice in a row and you can't use four numbers in a row. Best idea I ever...ummm....heard of.
