Georgia law allows ePrescribing of all drugs to allow practitioners and pharmacies in GA to be compliant with the Federal SUPPORT ACT of 2018. E-Prescribing vendors operating in GA are encouraged to provide proof of DEA approved audit to the GA Drug and Narcotic Agency. WENO has done this for WENO Online, which hosts their EPCS enabled prescriber and pharmacy stand-alone systems found at online.wenoexchange.com. |
