The prescription needs to be ordered and not necessarily filled for the Beta Blocker measure. This can be noted in MRR or the hospital MRR as discharge instructions. Also, the ambulatory portion refers to medications filled at a retail pharmacy or in the hospital pharmacy as an outpatient prescription.
