Okta + Epic
The Challenge
- Staying compliant with evolving DEA regulations, particularly around prescribing controlled substances
- Offering clinicians seamless secure access to patient records when they are not on the hospital network
- Allowing patients to access their own records, and play a leading role in managing their care
The Solution
Make DEA compliance automatic
In the US, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requires that clinicians prescribing a controlled substance, generally an opioid, must go through strong authentication before completing the prescription. Okta’s MFA integrates into Epic’s E-Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) and meets DEA requirements for strong authentication. At the same time, doctors enjoy a seamless and secure experience that integrates with familiar prescription workflows.
