You might be interested in checking out the WHO SMART Guidelines. Nothing on cancer yet AFAIK, but it's evolving.

I was also thinking about FHIR and SMART guidelines.

But the whole system is mess. And the whole SMART guideline system is controlled by 2-3 gatekeepers who don’t listen to any ideas other than their own

Had a CEO who extolled how much better open plans were, how vibrant it made the workplace, and so on and so on... Years later she admitted it was just to save money. I refuse to call an open office an "office" - that vibrant office she described back then? Full of people wearing headphones to block out all the noise they otherwise couldn't escape.

Do they sit on just regular desk in middle of noisiest part? Outside the few times they happen to be visiting the some side office...

Whew, I carried that tripod around when I was younger, it's a killer.

Curious what your book recommendations would be?

I think the key question here is: are you using GS1 identifiers? If not, I don't think it'd make much sense to throw a non-GS1 identifier in there and expect anyone else to be able to use it. Or is this just internal?

Actually disregard this, I was mistaken.

I'm not familiar with that scanner, however that sounds like a scanner issue. I haven't had that issue with GS-128 with the couple scanners I & colleagues have tried. I did a google search and in the Amazon reviews there is someone purporting to be from the manufacturer saying to email them to learn how to make it work, with regards to FNC1.

Are you using Chromebooks specifically?

If so, can I ask which barcode scanner(s) you're using which does work? The easiest solution may just be to buy a different scanner.

I did also email the manufacturer - let's see if they have a solution.

Can you determine what USB HID code(s) the scanner is sending for that? (Perhaps using wireshark, or usbmon on linux, …) Some years ago I worked on ChromeOS keyboard input, and I can probably tell you right away what it'd do with it. Basically, is the USB code in https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:ui/...

Alternatively (but probably less usefully), try it on https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html

We haven't used Chromebooks, sorry. For scanners a number of cheap to pricey ones were tried. On the cheap end I don't have the exact model number but I think it was about $30USD from Netum, as well as using apps in cheaper smart-phones using the built-in camera.

I'd guess it's the scanner though, I don't think those control characters are supposed to be sent.

I would recommend at least trying the big names - shouldn't be much to buy a few of them.

Just the numbers? Or the number + data?
