Provider Token Linkage for EPCS

Prior to being given authorization to prescribe controlled substances and utilize the EPCS functionality throughout the system, those users that have been enabled for EPCS need to authenticate their IdenTrust token with the proper provider account in the system. This is performed via the Provider Token Linkage dialog. Only users that have been enabled for EPCS are allowed access to this dialog, otherwise access to the dialog will be disabled.

Use the following steps to link your provider account to the IdenTrust token.

1. Click Edit > System Tables > Electronic Prescribing > EPCS Token Linkage.
    

2. In the Provider Token Linkage dialog, to link the token to your provider account, insert the IdenTrust token, and then click the Load button.
   
   
   
    

3. The Token Information will then load. If the information is correct, click the Link button and the token will then be linked to your provider account.
   
   NOTE: Only one user can be linked to an IdenTrust token and corresponding certificate. Whenever a user tries to link to a token that is already linked to another user, a warning will be generated informing the user that the only one token certificate can be linked to a single provider at a time and list the provider already linked to the token.
   
   
   
    

4. Once a provider is linked to a token, you have the ability to unlink that provider from the token, if needed, by accessing the Provider Token Linkage dialog, and then clicking the Unlink button when the Token Information appears.
   
   
    

5. When finished, click the Close button.
