Clinical
Prescribe from the chart, including controlled substances.
Full e-prescribing with EPCS for buprenorphine and other controlled medications, with the medication list, allergies, and interaction checks on the same record as the treatment plan.
MAT-ready. Built for programs prescribing buprenorphine and naltrexone.
Chain of custody
Every controlled prescription passes the same five checkpoints.
EPCS is a regulated workflow, not a feature toggle. Each step is enforced in order and logged, so the record of how a buprenorphine prescription was issued is as complete as the prescription itself.
- Identity proofing
The prescriber completes one-time identity verification and is issued two-factor credentials.
Once, at enrollment - PDMP check
State prescription drug monitoring lookup before the controlled prescription is written, with the result recorded on the chart.
Every controlled prescription - Clinical checks
Allergies, drug interactions, and duplicate therapy checked against the same medication list the clinical team maintains.
Automatic - Two-factor signing
The prescriber authenticates a second time at the moment of signature. Nobody else can sign on their behalf.
At signature - Transmission and log
Sent to the pharmacy electronically. Prescriber, timestamp, PDMP result, and destination are written to the activity log.
Immutable
Non-controlled prescribing, refill requests, and pharmacy change requests run through the same queue without the additional steps.
Why this decides the platform
A MAT program can't run on a system that stops at non-controlled medications.
Office-based opioid treatment and opioid treatment programs prescribe controlled substances as the core of the clinical model. If EPCS lives in a second system, so does the medication list — and then so does the reconciliation problem.
In the same record
The medication list is one list
Home medications, prescribed medications, and — in residential settings — administered medications reconcile against each other because they are not in three systems.
In the same log
The audit trail is one trail
Prescribing activity appears in the same immutable activity log as chart access and record exports, which is what a DEA or state inspection expects to see.
Live today
EPCS is live, not on the roadmap.
Controlled prescribing is available now, in the same record as the treatment plan. The only setup is per prescriber: one-time identity proofing and two-factor credentials, after which every controlled prescription passes the same five enforced checkpoints.
Questions
Common questions.
Does Unisona Health support EPCS for controlled substances?
Yes. Controlled prescriptions pass five enforced checkpoints in order: one-time identity proofing with two-factor credentials, a PDMP check recorded on the chart, automatic allergy and interaction checks, two-factor signing at the moment of signature, and electronic transmission written to the immutable activity log.
Can I prescribe buprenorphine for a MAT program?
Yes. Prescribing buprenorphine under EPCS, alongside non-controlled MAT medications such as naltrexone, is the core clinical model, not a bolt-on, so the medication list stays in one place instead of splitting across a second system and creating a reconciliation problem.
Is a PDMP check required before a controlled prescription?
Yes. The state PDMP lookup happens before the controlled prescription is written and its result is recorded on the chart, alongside allergy, interaction and duplicate-therapy checks against the same medication list the clinical team maintains.
Is EPCS fully live today?
Yes. EPCS is live today for buprenorphine and other controlled medications. Each prescriber completes a one-time enrollment, with identity proofing and two-factor credentials, before their first controlled prescription; after that, every controlled prescription passes the same five enforced checkpoints, including the PDMP check.
Works with
It runs on the same record as the rest of the platform.
Clinical
Health record & eMAR
Diagnoses, medications, allergies, vitals, labs, and administration records on the same chart as the clinical note — so residential and detox programs stop keeping a second paper MAR.
