For connectivity worth looking at my chapter in Chris Price's POCT book.
The main issue is that the Continua Alliance standards never got adopted widely and the Alliance seems to have been hijacked by the consumer health people - MS Healthvault etc
Also I've attached a Db and web display project I'm working on looking at the whole question of LIS interfaces. Just run the html file. The database isn't connected yet.
The idea is qunatify the costs and visualise the complexity, This is a first pass. If you wanted to fill in the db for your labs I'll generate teh visualiser for you.
The master form doesn't work perfectly as Access won't filter the dropdowns. I've got someone working on it for the future. If I get enough data back I'll share it around.

Subject: PoCT Software
We're working out how to interface a whole new family of PoCT analysers.
In all of the previous projects we've used software from the PoCT vendor. This time they don't offer any, but have told us that the following have connected to it:
Labdriver
Roche Cobas IT 1000
Conworx POCcelerator
Telcor
Laboratory Data Systems
We're looking for a data concentrator/ mothership to sit between the PoCT analysers and our LIS, not for a new LIS.
Any advice or experience with these would be very helpful.
Thanks
Jonathan
