Mid-Atlantic health system turns to Backbone
Consultants for its extensive experience as a leading EPCS
certifier of applications and processes.
Backbone Consultants, a division of CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN:
CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm helping healthcare
organizations navigate emerging security and privacy issues,
focusing on creating true partnerships, today announced a new
agreement with a prestigious multi-hospital academic health system
located in the mid-Atlantic to perform an audit and certify them
under the Electronic Prescription for Controlled Substances (EPCS)
standard.
The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) requires EPCS certification of
systems prescribing controlled substances electronically. The EPCS
rules and regulations were created to maintain safety and security,
and help fight opioid fraud and abuse. Backbone has a deep
knowledge and expertise in IT auditing, and specifically in
auditing electronic prescribing systems, and the unique
requirements of the EPCS rules and regulations enabling health
systems to meet very challenging deadlines for obtaining EPCS
certification.
“Healthcare has taken a strong stance against opioid abuse which
is a tremendous challenge affecting millions of lives and EPCS
certification is a key step in ensuring the protection against this
problem,” said Walter Zuniga, Managing Partner at Backbone
Consultants. He continues, “We have helped scores of healthcare
clients navigate the complexities of EPCS certification and look
forward to supporting such a highly esteemed institution meet their
compliance goals.”
