The planned mechanism, as outlined at recent MSIA meeting, is to use archetyped HL7 V2 and HL7 Mecication/allergy segments to encode the records for transfer. To get atomic data will require significant enhancements in the HL7 produced by systems, but this is the mechanism that is most likely to succeed in the long term Andrew McIntyre _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
