PRIMARILY FOR UK READERS
UK NEQAS Birmingham intend to extend our activities in
electronic return of results from participants to UK
NEQAS, which obviate the need for manual transcription,
return and data entry. We have a working system
implemented for TelePath users, but this requires direct
modem-to-modem connection which has been disallowed
on a number of participants' systems so we are
diversifying to include structured messaging systems.
As the concept is essentially similar to returning results
to GPs, we wish to identify labs who have an operational
system for returning GPs' results in a structured form (for
importing into the GP's computer system). If you have a
system in place and would like to work with us on this
project, please advise me ASAP so we can send you a
paper questionnaire ('old-fashioned', but easier to analyse
in this case!) regarding your lab system, the messaging
route, message structure/protocols and the recipient GP
systems.
Many thanks
