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!

David
