The Business Process Standard covers the high-level business processes and information flows relating to the sending and receiving of electronic information passed between parties within the 'prescribe, dispense and administer' lifecycle. It focuses on generating and sending electronic prescriptions, including normal attributes of paper prescriptions and medication dispensing and administering (where applicable).  The standard also provides a series of use cases to describe the key processes that support the various settings within the 'prescribe, dispense and administer' lifecycle.

The accompanying Messaging Standard is based on the requirements set out in the Business Process Standard and describes the structure and content of the message exchanges between sender and receiver, including mandatory, conditional and optional information requirements.
