Hi Matt, At BHRUT we have our ABG devices feeding into Siemens RapidComm 5.0 (RC), Roche AccuCheck Inform feeding into IT1000 and have recently purchased Conworx. We've had issues regarding the network space for the Conworx package but we've now identified a home for it within the Trust network space. Alere also have a good POC data manager package, but I think you'll find that Roche and Siemens are still not ready for all 3rd party connectivity; and the functionality which you'll get with any manufacturers bespoke software will not be matched by alternative suppliers i.e. RC for the RP500's & Cliniteks. As the version updates are released this should improve. We're looking to feed all of our esoteric POC kit into Conworx and add a PAS feed. Conworx will then have RC/ IT1000 feeding into it; and be connected to Clinisys for end reporting. My advice would be to get a feel for your current equipment and what's on the market, then ask for site visits and practical demo's to assess what will suits you. These projects tend to take a long time to complete, so you need to think ahead. I hope this helps?

We are due to go out to tender shortly and one of the elements will be an IT solution that can support 3rd party connectivity. For me, the one instrument that will require full functionality is the blood gas analyser. We are currently scoping the options. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

I've briefly looked into AQURE and wondered if anyone has specific experience using this? Happy to hear all your thoughts!
