Are Organizations Required to Enable Two-Factor Authentication Within an Electronic Health Record (EHR) for Prescription Medication?

Physicians and other prescribers who electronically order and sign prescriptions for their patients may be asked to provide a password and additional security key before they are able to order, sign, and send a prescription. Some organizations may enable this additional security based on the assumption that it is required by law for all prescribing. This iteration of the DRM series provides clarification around when two-factor authentication is required for prescriptions.
