OVERVIEW

ePrescribing Built for Behavioral Health Prescribers

ICANotes offers fully integrated electronic prescribing for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other behavioral health prescribers. Rather than toggling between separate systems, ePrescribing is embedded directly inside the clinical workflow — so you can transmit accurate, compliant prescriptions to any pharmacy without breaking your documentation rhythm.

Legend & Controlled Substance Prescribing

Electronically transmit both non-controlled and Schedule II–V controlled substance prescriptions to independent pharmacies and national chains through a Surescripts-connected network.

EPCS — Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances

Electronically transmit both non-controlled and Schedule II–V controlled substance prescriptions to independent pharmacies and national chains through a Surescripts-connected network.

Drug Interaction & Formulary Alerts

A comprehensive drug database delivers real-time clinical alerts at the point of prescribing — covering drug-drug interactions, dosage checks, and patient-specific formulary information before you transmit.

In-Workflow PDMP Checks

Query your state's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program without leaving the note. Review a patient's controlled substance history in real time — right alongside your clinical documentation — to support safer prescribing decisions.

Electronic Refill Requests

Manage pharmacy-initiated refill requests electronically, reducing inbound phone calls and freeing staff time while maintaining a complete, auditable prescription record.

Mobile Medication Management

Review and manage patient medication lists and prescriptions from mobile devices — keeping prescribing accessible whether you're in the office, conducting telehealth visits, or on the go.

EPCS & COMPLIANCE

Full Controlled Substance Prescribing. Zero Paper.

ICANotes supports Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) in full compliance with DEA 21 CFR Part 1311 requirements. Every controlled substance prescription is signed with a verified provider identity, creating a tamper-resistant audit trail that paper pads simply cannot match.

  • DEA-compliant two-factor authentication for controlled substance signing

  • Identity-proofed provider enrollment for EPCS activation

  • Immutable, time-stamped prescription audit log

  • Eliminates risk of stolen, forged, or altered paper Rx pads

  • Supports Schedule II through V controlled substances

  • Meets state mandatory ePrescribing requirements where applicable

PDMP INTEGRATION

Check the PDMP Inside the Visit. Not After.

Most EHRs treat PDMP checks as an afterthought — a separate portal you access in a different browser tab. ICANotes integrates state PDMP queries directly into the prescribing workflow, so you can review a patient's controlled substance history at the moment it matters: when you're writing the prescription. This supports clinical decision-making, satisfies state mandatory PDMP check requirements, and creates a documented record within the encounter — all without disrupting your note.
