CHPS Requirement for Medication Orders - EPIC/BEACON

We have worked diligently to get all new studies integrated into EPIC, in the effort to improve patient safety. We have completed the transition to electronic ordering, and now require that all Investigational Products and medication orders for all study visits on the CHPS units be entered through EPIC/BEACON treatment plans.
