Can this point be clarified for the list please Tom/Ross/Andrew/Chris?
Is there any need for message "transport" solutions to be certified by AHML?
As it is the clinical application (or clinical part of the application
suite) that generates both the message and the application level ACKs (or
doesn't), I've always been under the impression that it is the clinical
application (or clinical part of the application suite) that needs to be
compliant with AHML requirements?
Surely message transport (integrity of security, speed through the system,
cost, availability etc) is completely independent of the contents of the
message, and should be tested accordingly?
If we acted purely as a messaging service and remained strictly in that
role, your comment would be correct. ie the applications would need to
be compliant and it is not a concern of the messaging service.
However the world being imperfect, there is a need in certain
circumstances for the messaging service/client to create the HL7
'packet' using information passed to it from the clinical application.
