title: Developing national standard clinical EDI messages.
abstract: This paper presents a case study and methodology derived from the experience of the National Health Service (NHS) in England. The methodology is based on explicit ownership by clinicians of the message development process and a separation of the task of definition of information requirement from that of technical assurance and testing.
