Hi Andrew, Ta for that..not sure what it actually means..
Can you send the list - or me if too big - a sample formatted prescription so we can all understand what is being moved around. Export from clinical software as HL7 - what does that exactly mean?.. a text file, a document, some structure coded XML or a formatted prescription based on NEHTA /CIP work, or what.. Does the receiver import the file into directly into the dispensing system - or how is the data got into the dispensing system? I would really like to understand just where this is actually at.. Cheers and Happy Xmas and New Year to all!
