EPCS Public Meeting
July 11-12, 2006
Arlington, VA
On Tuesday July 11, and Wednesday, July 12, 2006, the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), conducted a public meeting to discuss electronic prescriptions
for controlled substances. Specifically, this meeting was intended to allow
industry—prescribers, pharmacies, software/hardware vendors, and other
interested third parties—to address how electronic prescribing systems can
meet DEA’s prescription requirements under the Controlled Substances Act, and
HHS’ statutory mandate to facilitate adoption of electronic prescribing under
Part D of the Medicare Modernization Act, without unduly burdening the parties
to electronic prescribing transactions. This meeting included six panel
discussions focused on specific areas of expertise and interest.
Any questions regarding the conference may be directed to Liaison and Policy
Section, at (202) 307-7297.
