# Standards Information

:::::Tabs
::::Tab{title="NCPDP SCRIPT Standard"}
Medication History utilizes the NCPDP (National Council for Prescription Drug Programs) messaging standard Prescriber/Pharmacist Interface SCRIPT version 2023011 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.
