Prescriber signature is required on prescriptions.

Prescriber authentication on every prescription is required to prove who issued it. On paper prescriptions, this is the prescriber’s handwritten signature. For electronic prescriptions, the prescriber must authenticate the order electronically (an electronic signature or secure credential). The signature is not optional or limited to controlled substances; it is required for all prescriptions to ensure accountability and prevent forgery. A typed name or no signature would not satisfy the requirement.
