Thanks Peter
I am trying to get my head around all this webservices stuff and I guess
all will be revealed at the workshop. However, I am still not clear how
webservices will allow specialist A to get his letter to GP B using it.
It seems to me that GP B needs a webservices interface that will accept
data based on certain criteria. Since GPs are not a very technologically
advanced group they are unlikely to be running their own interface. If
others run a proxy interface for them, is there much advantage in this
over plain old email?
Also who is charged with creating the medical webservices interface
standard? Is that NEHTA? Is there a timeframe?
David,
I've just been playing with Trinity, and sent some referrals. I'm
waiting to see if they are encrypted as well as signed, but I'm also
curious about how GPs then get the specialist's report via that system.
Trinity seems to make the referral sending process very easy, even using
the HeSA iKey, once its drivers and utilities have been installed, but
message encryption and two-way corresponding MO-style aren't yet so clear.
