I'm anticipating a short-term expense with long-term benefits due to the cost of authentication methods described in the article. The cost savings will mostly be derived from prescriber/pharmacy workflow changes. Good question.

The increase in demand for meaningful use-ful compliant EMR applications will drive demand. Prescriber's and Pharmacies will demand the controlled substance feature sets to streamline workflow. If you’re a prescriber, using an implemented EMR you will need to enter the medication into the clinical record. It would sure save time if you could click a button, scan your thumb and send the controlled substance to the pharmacy. If you’re a pharmacy, you'll save time. No more re-entering the handwritten prescription into the pharmacy system. No more calling the physician for clarification, refills etc. Meaningful use requires EMR’s to maintain an active medication list and the ability to prescribe electronically.

Yes, some states do have individual laws that rest on the Federal Regulations. Once the DEA revises the rule and allows ePrescription of controlled substances the State laws will adjust accordingly. For instance, see Utah law on ePrescribing: http://www.dopl.utah.gov/laws/58-82.pdf Hi Stacy, good question. Yes, some states do have individual laws that rest on the Federal Regulations.
