>GP and Specialist/Critical Care Referral Data Content Specifications >v1.0 This is little more than a wish-list. It is not a technical document, you can't sit down and write an interoperating medical comms app with it. Also, it is painfully obvious that the authors have never written a discharge summary nor spoken to anyone who does. > HL7 The HL7 docs are full of stuff like "by local arrangement", "using the local values for this table", etc. NEHTA need to go through page-by-page and say what the local arrangements for Australia are. This is what the standards australia process is for, but it is incomplete, reading their docs you are still left with lots of ambiguities. >I'd be very interested in the comments of the technical members of >this list on the NEHTA's outline of Web service interfaces using >WSDL, and its realisation with SOAP messages. This is technology selection: picking a hire-car is not the same as getting to your destination. Their choice is poor: they are driving to the local supermarket in a 20-tonne Mack truck, but, hey, at least the journey can start. Actual interfaces need to be written and published as WSDL (Web Services Description Language) files, and NEHTA need to state under what licence the files wil be released. ACOM (Australian Catalogue of Medicines) also remains AWOL thus far.
