#22 Question [12-10-022-2] Do the 2011 Edition and 2014 Edition certification criteria pertaining to electronic prescribing, which reference certain content exchange standards (e.g., NCPDP SCRIPT 10.6), require that a Complete EHR or EHR Module be capable of electronically exchanging information with only external recipients (i.e., recipients that are not part of that legal entity) according to the appropriate standard (and implementation specifications) or do they apply more broadly?
