Intelligent mediation of messages in a healthcare product integration platform

A method to mediate messages in a product integration platform, said method comprising:

• receiving a request message from an integration platform, the request message being received in a canonical data format;
• denormalizing the request message into an interface request message format, the interface request message format corresponding to a message format implemented by an interface;
• translating the request message from the interface request message format into a target healthcare system format, the target healthcare system format corresponding to a message format implemented by a target healthcare system, wherein the interface is associated with the target healthcare system;
• and
• sending the request message to the target healthcare system.

A method to provision an interface for mediation of messages in a product integration platform, said method comprising:

• identifying a target healthcare system, wherein the target healthcare system is a destination for message routing;
• identifying configuration rules and protocol requirements for the target healthcare system;
• defining a configuration for the interface associated with the target healthcare system;
• constructing the target healthcare system interface route;
• creating an interface factory to return implementations of an interface route and configuration;
• passing the interface factory content to an interface control channel;
• loading concrete implementation of the interface route and configuration;
• initializing the interface route;
• and
• instantiating interface endpoints and processors to enable communication via the interface route.

A system to mediate messages in a product integration platform, said system comprising:

• a message acquirer to:
• receive a message request from a source healthcare system, the message request containing a message payload;
• and
• determine an interface to be used to route the message to a target healthcare system;
• a message normalizer to:
• create a platform message based on the message request;
• and
• adapt the platform message into a message format expected by the interface;
• and
• a message router to route the platform message to the interface.
