This only makes an even stronger case for moving from independently developed prescription charts to a common approach." http://www.aomrc.org.uk/projects/standards-in-patient-prescription-charts.html There is a group working on standardising the nomenclature of Anaesthetic Charts for electronic records and compatibility with HL7 ( http://www.hl7.org.uk/ ) and so on.
