A client has brought to our attention a question in the questionaire
that is sent to clients before you upgrade them to MD3.
It apparently states 'at the moment MD3 does not support Argus'.
I am sure that the intention of HCN is honourable to make sure that the
client doesnt get any nasty surprises, however the statement is somewhat
misleading and is causing some alarm amongst yours and our clients.
I am aware the MD3 has not included the interfaces for sending
information out of MD3 via Argus (eg CARDIAB), however MD3 still retains
the common capability of receiving incoming messages coming from
pathology etc, which Argus does conform to. Also I suspect that our
MAPI interface to your email sending capability still works to send out
letters etc, however we have been unable to test this because we havent
yet received a test version of MD3 from HCN to put it through its paces.
Could HCN please correct this document and diminish any fears that your
users may have that their Argus implementation will now be ineffective?

Ross,
As a Cardiab-Argus using Division person I was alarmed last week when I
registered to get MD3 and found the Argus Setup Utility and Diabetes
Transmission Utility in the 'functionality under review' section. The
registration form invited intending users to tick from a range of
features they used. HCN are obviously trying to gauge what features are
still relevant.
Anyone using MD2 should register to get an MD3 disk and in the process
indicate they are using these features.
Jane Taggart at UNSW, who I messaged about this issue last week, has
confirmed that Warwick Ruscoe approached the MD of HCN, and he has
apparently agreed to include the diabetes messaging features in MD3.
More first-hand confirmation of this position would be nice, but it
sounds like the right people have already gone to bat on this one.
