Please note:  due to  increasing problems with SPAM,  I am using  SPAM
ARREST  -  http://www.spamarrest.com/affl?4034505  - a relatively
inexpensive service which extends my current email service and prevents
automated SPAM attacks by checking with email senders that they are bonefide
people needing to communicate with me.  If you are not already in my
address book and reply to this, you may receive a confirmation email asking
you to respond. Once you answer, the email is on the way and will receive my
attention.  I am evaluating this service and would appreciate any feedback
on it.  I also have information on the corporate configuration of the
service.

I think there is plenty of work to be done without the problem being
turf protection. It is a tower of Babel because the applications cannot
participate in the HL7 discussion at the level that they need to.

The actual transport is only a very small part of whats needed to
achieve the interoperability everyone wants. As well as transport you
need to insert a babelfish into the clinical applications ears. Most of
the work Medical-Objects does is on the Babelfish and not the transport.
 Without a rich and flexible layer to massage data it simply will not
work with todays clinical applications. We have seen failures with
slightly different versions of the same Companies application, even the
Same application fails to import messages it produces!

While there is quite a bit of complexity in secure messaging, its not
"The problem" - its the lack of standards support and AHML accreditation.

Most Path lab data is pretty good, and not far from compliance at all,
but go outside that arena and all hell breaks loose. Even PIT compliance
is an issue!

If you want to fix the issue, the attack has to start at the compliance
level.
