Nandalal,
I believe you are exactly right. In the case of this interesting
problem the key issue is to identify the appropriate middleware
services to safely expose legacy patient data. This is a different
problem from the opportunity to create structured and coded data as
new systems with rich onboard permissions and are brought on line.
With best regards,
