Medications classified as controlled substances on the federal or state level will not display through the “Search Medications” field when ePrescribing. Due to variations in state law, certain medications (such as Gabapentin) may not be displayed in OneView.
Gabapentin is currently controlled in AL, KY, MI, ND, TN, VA, and WV.
Gabapentin is not classified as a controlled substance in CA, NV, MN, IA, FL, DE, and NY. Therefore, providers in these states can prescribe Gabapentin using the “Search Medications Controlled in Some States” dropdown in the “Search Medication” pop-up when ePrescribing. The dropdown will display for patients actively dialyzing in these states and only show Gabapentin. After selecting the appropriate Gabapentin medication from the dropdown list, follow the existing e-prescribing process.

Renewing Gabapentin
Providers in these states can use the renew feature to copy an existing Gabapentin prescription instead of adding it again.
| In the Clinical Summary section of the chart, click the “Renew” icon to the right of the Gabapentin prescription. |
The medication details will display and can be modified if needed. The existing ePrescribing process will apply to the renewed medication. After renewing the prescription, it shows up on the medication list, where it must be reviewed, signed, and an action selected for completion.
