It’s just about 2018. How is it that special characters are still a problem with eCW? I’ve been fighting with them on this issue since 2012 and version 9. Today with v10sp2.5.48 I’ve once again run into issues with special characters.
This time it’s with registering prescribers for EPCS.
For those trying this for the first time, here are some rules
1) Your provider cannot have a value in their suffix field
2) Their first name cannot have special characters (like a space or hyphen)
3) Their street address cannot have special characters (like a hyphen, period, or number symbol)
It’s as if these software developers are still working through their junior year of college in 1992.
Special characters should never be an issue in this day-and-age.
