And patholgy results delivery is still far and away the most successful e-health activity. <br /><br />The delivery cost is borne by the sender, the recipient pays nothing, and in the early days the recipient software was basically free too. <Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-24410286170814661082010-09-07T15:09:17.968+10:002010-09-07T15:09:17.968+10:00I am a little bit concerned that I have been too s...I am a little bit concerned that I have been too strident in my criticism in the Australian article, however I do think it has been a useful addition to the debate, even if rightly viewed as a tiny bit parochial.<br /><br />I am interested in Bruce Farnell's view and while I do sympathise with his plight (seemingly condemned to use PIT messages for eternity) I do suggest a much harder line beTom Bowdenhttp://www.healthlink.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-24789734870759692552010-09-07T09:59:06.521+10:002010-09-07T09:59:06.521+10:00The messaging issue is a very sad state of affairs...The messaging issue is a very sad state of affairs. Ideally, all message senders should be checking their messages against the AHML. Unfortunately, if receiving applications fail to handle these messages in the same way the sender is forced to cobble together different message formats for different clients regardless of what the standard dictates. Failing that - they will send PIT formatted filesBruce Farnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895794526347112930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23447705.post-15528912485176020962010-09-07T07:36:12.189+10:002010-09-07T07:36:12.189+10:00A note from NZ.

Significant investment, many trials, but little return.<br /><br />Also have a look at www.testsafe.co.nz.

For a few decades now ( I think) they have had a national patient identifier system, which also includes a medical warning component with allergy and alert information. So every time a patient record is opened say in a hospital PAS system, the patient record is refreshed from interfacing with the national hub.
