David, Regardless of the quality of HL7 specifications I think the political hurdles (as alluded to in the copied quote below) are the main block that makes the quote writer less than optimistic. viz. from this list [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > You do now :-((( > My supervisor next door runs at 640x480. > > You think GPs are tight, f you want anyone in public hospital to use > your > system (which you may not, that's OK) you are looking at > - Windows 2000 or NT > - 14" CRT 640x480, 800x600 if lucky. > - Pentium II 64M RAM > etc. Ian, Another example of why I expect so little from the public health system in the whole E-health agenda and another reason why I'm sceptical about HealthConnect. The infrastructure catch-up costs in NSW public hospitals alone would be horrendous. Who's going to pay? That fight could go into the next century.
