and responsive to identification of the event, using a computerized output device for providing patient record data, pertaining to the individual patient, to the health provider. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of providing health information from a health information exchange (HIE) system, the method comprising by, (i) performing, by an HIE-EMR bridging application running on a computerized device used by a health provider on which an EMR application is also running, a computerized context interception process using a processor to intercept context from the EMR application and to identify therewithin an event by which the health provider using the EMR application running on the computerized device calls up an individual patient's record including data from an EMR system the EMR application is associated with, wherein said EMR application provides information to the health provider through a graphic user interface in a first display window generated by the EMR application; (ii) responsive to identification of said event, accessing by the HIE-EMR bridging application running on the computerized device used by the health provider on which the EMR application is also running, health information from the HIE system including patient record data pertaining to the individual patient of the identified event, wherein said patient record data includes at least one information item which is tagged to indicate a source health information system from which said at least one information item is provided to said HIE system; (iii) filtering said patient record data so as to filter out one or more information items which are tagged to indicate their source is the EMR system the EMR application is associated with; and (iv) providing, by the HIE-EMR bridging application, filtered patient record data to the health provider through a graphic user interface of a second display window that is separate from the first display window and that is generated by the HIE-EMR bridging application, wherein the second display window containing the graphic user interface of the HIE-EMR bridging application is displayed relative to, and on top of, the display window containing the graphic user interface of the EMR application. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1 wherein said intercepting and identifying includes using a context management protocol. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A method according to claim 2 wherein said context management protocol comprises CCOW. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1 wherein said identifying includes capturing information from the first display window generated by the EMR application. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1 wherein said providing patient record data includes mimicking an EMR application display operation while providing the patient record data. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) A method according to claim 5 wherein said EMR application display operation comprises at least one of a translation along a display screen, a minimization of size and a maximization of size. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1 wherein said intercepting and identifying includes screen-capturing EMR context of the first display window generated by the EMR application. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) A method according to claim 7 wherein said capturing includes capturing screen information indicative of a category of information currently being displayed in the first display window generated by the EMR application, and wherein said patient record data provided to the health provider from the HIE system is filtered so as to filter out said at least one information item pertaining to a category of information other than the category of information currently being displayed in the first display window generated by the EMR application. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) A method according to claim 8 wherein said category of information includes at least one of the following group of categories: laboratory information, medicines, allergies, procedures, vital signs, pathologies, imaging results, clinical documents, immunizations, problems, and diagnosis. ### Claim 10 A method of providing health information from a health information exchange (HIE) system, the method comprising by, (i) performing, by an HIE-EMR bridging application running on a computerized device used by a health provider on which an EMR application is also running, a computerized context interception process using a processor to intercept context from the EMR application and to identify therewithin an event by which the health provider using the EMR application running on the computerized device calls up an individual patient's record including data from an EMR system the EMR application is associated with, wherein said EMR application provides information to the health provider through a graphic user interface in a first display window generated by the EMR application; (ii) responsive to identification of said event, accessing by the HIE-EMR bridging application running on the computerized device used by the health provider on which the EMR application is also running, health information from the HIE system including patient record data pertaining to the individual patient of the identified event, wherein said patient record data includes at least one information item which is tagged to indicate a source health information system from which said at least one information item is provided to said HIE system; and (iii) providing, by the HIE-EMR bridging application, accessed patient record data to the health provider through a graphic user interface of a second display window that is separate from the first display window and that is generated by the HIE-EMR bridging application, wherein the second display window containing the graphic user interface of the HIE-EMR bridging application is displayed relative to, and on top of, the display window containing the graphic user interface of the EMR application. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A method according to claim 10 wherein said intercepting and identifying includes using a context management protocol. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) A method according to claim 11 wherein said context management protocol comprises CCOW. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) A method according to claim 10 wherein said identifying includes capturing information from the first display window generated by the EMR application. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) A method according to claim 10 wherein said providing patient record data includes mimicking an EMR application display operation while providing the patient record data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) A method according to claim 14 wherein said EMR application display operation comprises at least one of a translation along a display screen, a minimization of size and a maximization of size. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) A method according to claim 10 wherein said intercepting and identifying includes screen-capturing EMR context of the first display window generated by the EMR application.
