## The Problem

Pain Management practices prescribing controlled substances need PDMP checks, chart documentation, and pattern monitoring — missing any of it is a DEA problem.

## What We Build in Epic

AI runs PDMP checks on every controlled-substance order, documents the check in athenahealth, flags concerning patterns, and generates compliance reports — audit-ready, every prescription. Purpose-built for teams running Epic — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Epic Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Epic configuration.** We map the specific Epic objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your pain management practice.
2. **Build on the Epic API or agent.** Integration happens inside Epic — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Epic with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
