Just to let anyone who is interested know. It is possible to write a simple bridging program that populates the Conquest worklist table directly.
For our company I wrote a little program to pull the necessary data from our non-compliant software and directly insert it into the dicomworklist table.
Conquest hasn't had any problems as yet and the worklist is functional on our GE 7, 9 and V730.
So if anyone else has a need for automatic insertion of a current worklist so that Conquest can dish it out then it's worth the time to build the necessary software.
