ePrescribe in Jane is coming to US clinics this winter as an add-on to any plan. We’re excited to share a little more about what’s ahead, including support for everyday prescriptions and electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) for authorized prescribers. A small group of clinics has early access now, and you can join the interest list below to hear from us once ePrescribe is launched.

What will ePrescribe in Jane look like day-to-day?

When you prescribe through a separate system, there can be a few extra steps between deciding on a prescription and sending it. That’s why we’ve partnered with DoseSpot to bring ePrescribe to Jane, helping reduce some of the back-and-forth that comes with prescribing in a separate system.

You’ll start the prescription from the patient’s chart in your Jane account. DoseSpot then opens in a new tab with the patient already selected, so you can write and send the prescription without searching for them again. DoseSpot also includes drug interaction checks, allergy alerts, insurance eligibility checks, and refill alerts.

Completed prescriptions sync back to the patient’s Medications tab in Jane overnight. New prescriptions can take up to 24 hours to appear, and once they sync, they’re read-only in Jane.

Should I sign up for DoseSpot on my own while I wait?

It’s best to hold off for now. When your clinic is invited, you’ll set up DoseSpot through Jane so it can connect properly with your patient charts. A standalone DoseSpot account can’t currently be linked to the ePrescribe feature in Jane, and existing accounts can’t be moved over yet. Until you’re invited, you can keep prescribing the way you do today.

How do I stay in the loop about ePrescribe?

Join the interest list above, and we’ll keep you posted as ePrescribe gets closer to launch. As access opens up to more clinics, we’ll invite people from the list based on fit. Signing up doesn’t guarantee immediate access, but it does make sure your clinic is in the mix as early access to the feature grows.

If you’d like to follow along in the meantime, Jane customers can follow the ePrescribe request on Canny. You can also visit the Medical Hub in the Jane Guide for updates on what we’re building for medical practices.

FAQs

Who is ePrescribe for?

ePrescribe in Jane is built for US clinics with prescribers on the team, including MDs, NPs, and PAs. The clinic owner starts the setup, and each prescriber completes a one-time identity check through ID.me, a secure online identity verification service. The process should take only a few minutes.

Because prescribing requirements vary by country, ePrescribe is currently only available for US clinics.

Does the ePrescribe feature cost extra?

ePrescribe in Jane will be available as an add-on feature for US accounts on any Jane plan. You’ll add it per prescriber, so you only pay for the people on your team who need to prescribe. Electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) is included with ePrescribe, so there’s no separate add-on for that ability.

When will ePrescribe be available in Jane?

We’re aiming to make ePrescribe available to all US clinics this winter. A small group of clinics has early access now and is helping us test things out. As early access expands, we’ll invite more clinics from the interest list in stages before opening it up to everyone.

Can I prescribe controlled substances using ePrescribe?

Yes, if you’re authorized to prescribe controlled substances, you’ll be able to do so through ePrescribe after completing an additional identity verification step.

You’ll also need to arrange access to your state’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) through DoseSpot and Bamboo Health. This is separate from Jane, so be sure to allow time for approval. You can learn more about setting up PDMP access here.

Will prescriptions written in DoseSpot show up in Jane?

Yes, prescriptions sync to the patient’s Medications tab in Jane overnight, so it can take up to 24 hours for a new prescription to appear. Once it’s synced, the prescription is read-only in Jane. If you need to make a change, you’ll do that in DoseSpot.

Does ePrescribe work with compounding pharmacies?

Yes, ePrescribe will support compounded prescriptions. In DoseSpot, you’ll select “compound” as the prescription type, then send it to the compounding pharmacy you use.

Because pharmacy availability can vary, it’s a good idea to check that your compounding pharmacy is available in DoseSpot before making the switch.

Can a prescriber with a limited role use ePrescribe in Jane?

No, ePrescribe in Jane doesn’t currently support the Practitioner (Limited) role. That’s because DoseSpot doesn’t have an equivalent limited-access role, which would mean giving the prescriber broader access to patient information than that Jane role is designed to allow.
