LabTalk/2: a middleware approach to HIS integration.
Aamir M. Zakaria, Dario A. Giuse · PubMed · 1995
LabTalk/2 is an intelligent interface between a legacy order-entry system and a legacy laboratory information system. Unlike other interfaces, LabTalk/2 does more than just transform data from one format to another; it transforms the manner in which data is processed. Utilizing the "middleware" concept, it sits independently between the two systems, decoupling their maintenance needs. Implementation has been successful.
