We're adding a new A&E system at work. But we need this system to also update our existing hospital PAS. So, the project is to intercept HL7 messages from the A&E system, parse them and put the data into SQL Server, and then trigger scripting software that puts that data into the PAS. The scripting software asks like a human typing into the system in effect. We have to do it this way because the PAS won't accept HL7 messages and process them.

The project involves Ensemble (integration engine, parsing/routing HL7 messages etc), Summit Healthcare's SST, SQL Server, and a VB.NET exe. I'm involved in all of it bar the Ensemble stuff. This is a live, 24/7 transactional system, something we've not developed before as we are data monkeys.

But the exciting project is that I've just finished my second iOS game, Discbord, and I'm working on my third game at the moment. Not sure what that game is going to be yet as I am working on a number of ideas before selecting the one I really want to make.
