Some medications are not considered controlled substances on the federal level, but are at the individual state level. Once an electronic prescription is returned for being a State Controlled Substance, the system will add the medication to the table for State Specific Controlled Substance. See Table Maintenance - Clinical.

 

The check has also been added for whenever a New/Renew/Refill Prescription is created. The TruBridge EHR will determine if the prescription is listed in the State Controlled Substance Table. If the medication is found, the system will flag the prescription as a Controlled Substance, insert the listed DEA Class into the Prescription file, and prompt users accordingly. If the medication is not listed in the State Controlled Substance table or the Federal Controlled Substance Database, the system will allow the prescription to be processed as a Non-Controlled Substance.
