WRS Health now supports controlled substance routing by mid-level healthcare providers (HCP-Billing roles) such as PAs and NPs. This enhancement enables compliant and efficient routing of Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions to supervising physicians for electronic prescribing (EPCS), while maintaining a full audit trail and enforcing correct permission handling.

Key Highlights

Supervisor Routing Functionality

  • New Supervisor Dropdown appears when a mid-level provider creates a Schedule II prescription in the classic Medications page.
  • Automatically pre-selects a designated supervisor (if set in Administration > EMR Setup > Supervising Provider).
  • Defaults to “None” if no designated supervisor is assigned.

Send to Task Queue Option

  • After selecting a supervisor and entering prescription details, a new “Send to Task Queue” button is available in the Prescription Details pop-up.
  • The button only appears if a supervisor is selected.
  • Clicking this routes the prescription to the supervising provider’s Task Queue for review and signature.

Supervisor Action

  • Supervising providers can open the routed prescription from their Task Queue.
  • Once reviewed, they may finalize and EPCS-send directly from the queue.
  • Triggers standard EPCS flow with digital signature and audit logging.

Clinical Logs

  • All tasking actions are logged in Clinical Logs with user and timestamp information.

Additional Notes

Available only in the Medications page; Medications 2.0 does not currently support this flow.
