Case Study: Scripps Health achieves faster, more secure EPCS access with SecureAuth

The SecureAuth® Identity Platform provides improved physician efficiency and increased security for Scripps Health’s Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances

Scripps Health needed a way for physicians to approve controlled substance prescriptions quickly and securely without disrupting patient care. The organization turned to SecureAuth’s Identity Platform and access management solution for its Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS), balancing strong security requirements with a fast authentication experience.

SecureAuth implemented self-service multi-factor authentication with smartphone-based fingerprint biometrics and simple accept/deny prompts, making rollout quick and easy. The result was a major efficiency gain: the prescribing process dropped from 2–3 hours to just 6 seconds, while improving security and physician satisfaction.
