Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances; Notice of Meeting

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is conducting a public meeting to discuss electronic prescriptions for controlled substances. Specifically, this meeting is 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, without unduly burdening the parties to electronic prescribing transactions.
