📋 [Medication History for Populations](https://docs.surescripts.com/medhistory-populations/guide)

Retrieve medication history of patients through our FHIR R4 implementation. This guide covers panel management and prescription notifications via FHIR, and how to upload your patient list which still runs on a flat file format.

👥[Medication History for Populations (Panel)](https://docs.surescripts.com/medhistory-populations-panel/guide)

Provides medication history data for patient populations through our XML implementation, built on the NCPDP 10.6 standard. Use this guide if you're managing panels via XML file response.
:::

:::LinkArrayItem
📄 [Medication History for Populations (Panel) Flat File](https://docs.surescripts.com/medhistory-populations-file/guide)

Provides medication history data for patient populations through scheduled flat file delivery, covering both patient file load and panel management. This version 3.0 guide is for customers who want a flat file approach instead of FHIR or XML.
:::

:::LinkArrayItem
📁 [Medication History for Populations Patient File Load](https://docs.surescripts.com/medhistory-populations-patient-file-load/guide)

Supports uploading patient lists for population-based medication history monitoring using a pipe-delimited flat file format. You'll only need this guide alongside the Medication History for Populations (Panel) XML implementation to handle the file load piece.

# Standards Information

:::::Tabs
::::Tab{title="NCPDP SCRIPT Standard"}
Care Coordination utilizes the NCPDP (National Council for Prescription Drug Programs) messaging standard Prescriber/Pharmacist Interface SCRIPT as a baseline.

- Use official NCPDP guides for full implementation details
- Surescripts documentation highlights how those standards are applied within the network
- Official standards documentation and NCPDP membership information are available at [ncpdp.org](https://ncpdp.org)

:::hint{type="info"}
You’ll see NCPDP referenced in milestone names, descriptions, and acceptance criteria. These references indicate *which industry standard the milestone supports*, not a full list of technical requirements. Always use the official NCPDP implementation guides for detailed specifications.
:::
::::

:::Tab{title="HL7® FHIR® Standard"}
HL7® FHIR® R4 standards provide a common framework for exchanging healthcare information using APIs and standardized resources.

- Use official HL7 FHIR implementation guides for complete technical requirements, resource definitions, and implementation specifications.
- Surescripts documentation highlights how FHIR standards are implemented within Surescripts solutions and workflows.
- Official FHIR specifications and implementation resources are available from HL7 International: [https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/index.html](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/index.html)
