EPCS Enrollment at UMMC

Enrollment for EPCS at UMMC will be done by Medical Staff Services.

In order to prescribe electronically at UMMS—including all outpatient areas—all prescribers will need to be authorized to do so within EPIC.

The provider must authenticate the prescription using two of the following three factors:

  • Something only the provider knows, such as a password.
  • Something the provider is, such as fingerprint biometrics.
  • Something the provider has, such as a one-time password token, which is separate from the device that the provider is using to prescribe. This is obtained on your smartphone.

To do this, all prescribers need to be enrolled in Imprivata, which will requires in-person identity-proofing by authorized person:

  • Medical Staff Services
    110 S. Paca Street
    8th Floor

Before you come, please complete the following steps:

  1. Download Imprivata from the App Store or Google Play Store onto your smartphone. Android 7 or later, or iOS11 or later required.
  2. If new to UMMC, log into a hospital computer using the username and password sent by IS&T. You must change your password in the system before registering for Imprivata.
  3. Bring a government-issued photo ID; either a driver's license or passport.
  4. If you are approved for Suboxone prescribing, confirm that the Medical Staff Office has this information.

Enrollment of each prescriber will take about 5 minutes.
