This forum is now open for business! Thanks to the members from industry for joining up. I am sure more clinicians will join up in due course. I should like to get the ball rolling by asking how you see the links between recording equipment and hospital admin systems developing.

• Will HL7 be the final choice or an XML variant?
• Will machines interface directly to hospital and NHS systems or through an intermediate system?
• What sorts of function will be available?
• Is there scope for industry co-operation and standards or have we clinicians got to negotiate this interface separately with each company?
