Applicable Security Patterns for Consideration

The following transactions need to be implemented for interoperability purposes:
- SCRIPT 10.6 & SCRIPT 2017071 -
  - NewRx: This transaction is a new prescription sent from the prescriber to the pharmacy electronically so that it can be dispensed to a patient
- SCRIPT 2017071 -
  - NewRxRequest: This transaction is a request from a pharmacy to a prescriber for a new prescription for a patient
    - NewRxResponseDenied: This transaction is a denied response to a previously sent NewRxRequest (If approved, a NewRx would be sent)
      - A NewRxResponseDenied response may occur when the NewRxRequest cannot be processed or if information is unavailable
Both the prescriber and the pharmacy must have their systems configured for the transaction in order to facilitate successful exchange, including the ability to send or receive verify, status, or error transactions.
