There are no agreed standards. If you want, I can email you the PIT format description - it is detailed enough and simple and straightforward to implement You can also download the HL7 "Australian standard" for pathology messages from the Australian standards website (or their commercial contractor, better said). Horrible read, rather ambiguous, and implementation will involve a lot of trial and error - only to find out that you will have to do some modifications afterwards to accommodate the inconsistencies of pathology provider's implementation afterwards We have some python source code on http://ozdocit.org which is easy to read and may assist you in doing your own implementation - just use the search function on that web page And that's only the data formats. For the transport itself there are even less agreed standards, but email is something most will offer if you ask.
