Don't be ridiculous, my dear man! The DICOM and HL7 "standards" are here to make integration worries a thing of the past!

Flint,

We have our systems integrated. It cost us nearly 7 figures and a custom e*Gate implementation maintained by 2 full-time staff, plus additional professional services work from GE, but we did it.

I spent yesterday hearing about "McKesson's implementation of the 835". There's a reason why SeeBeyond/Sun/Oracle gets a lot of money from us every year, and it's because every vendor implements standards their own way, and we have staff that does nothing but maintain the message translations.

Don't even start me on HL7 XML .
