Does anybody allow interfaces to TDS from any system that does not receive
an ADT transaction?  Maybe the question would be better formulated were it
to read "How many sites would not allow an system to interface with TDS
unless that system received ADT?".

I having a difficult time grasping the feasibility of the allowing such an
interface.  The end user would be responsible for manually admitting the
patient into their system, including the Acct#, MRN and name.   The engine
will cross check that the Acct# is valid for the MRN sent in, and we can
even send along the name from a look-up on the engine to circumvent NAMCHK
problems.

Maybe its just me and there are many sites that use such interfaces?
