$$SDEA^XUSER(): Check for Prescribing Privileges

Reference Type: Supported, Category: User: DEA ePCS Utility, ICR#: 2343

Description

The $$SDEA^XUSER extrinsic function uses the following "Privileges Algorithm" to check for prescribing privileges:

Blank = never answered (Allow all schedules but system to send the following electronic message: "DEA credentials have not been populated, call TBD responsible person.")
Any or all fields are answered = provide explicit set of permissions (that have been identified).
If it is answered that Prescriber has No privileges for all schedules = remove DEA number or VA number from the NEW PERSON (# 200) file.
If Prescriber has been issued a DEA number, you have privileges.
If the Prescriber has been issued a VA number, this is a presumption of privileges.

NOTE: Not all of these checks apply to documentation of non-VA medication.

REF: This API calls the $$DEA^XUSER()—Get User's DEA Number API.

NOTE: This API was released with Kernel Patch XU*8.0*580, which was created in support of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) e-Prescribing of Controlled Substances (ePCS) Utility. This utility uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and meets the requirements proposed by the DEA Interim Final Rule (IFR) for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances effective as of June 1, 2010.
