Re: [Hardhats-members] Medtronic LIFEPAK 12
Thank you for all the good leads. I'll let the group know what the solution is if we find/make one. ___ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
Re: [Hardhats-members] Medtronic LIFEPAK 12
There are numerous medical devices which do work with VistA. One of the best people to contact concerning lab and medical device interfaces is Bill Ackerman from the VA in Chicago. He and his father are frequent visitors to this list. Perhaps Bill has some insight to the problems involved in doing device interface. - Original Message - From: Nancy Anthracite [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, June 05, 2006 8:46 PM Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Medtronic LIFEPAK 12 The VA has interfaces for some devices and I have been trying to get the information about what devices and the code.

Certainly, you can work with serial devices at a low level, just as if they were another special file, but perhaps you have in mind something like an HL7 interface. The VistA HL7 package was designed to work with serial devices even before TCP/IP. But you have another option, too: There are open source middleware products (some people on this list have been looking at Mirth), and you can always implement a serial interface from that, using TCP/IP at the VistA end. This would be an especially attractive option if the serial protocol had already been implemented, or if it was particularly difficult (or tedious) to handle in MUMPS. On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for the simplicity of not having to rely on middleware, too.
