Health Information Mapping System With Graphical Editor

A computer system including one or more processors and one or more computer storage media storing computer executable instructions which when executed by the one or more processors perform a method for graphically defining a channel for processing messages, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a display device, a visual channel editor in which graphical representations of channel nodes can be arranged and interconnected to define a channel;
• receiving user input to the visual channel editor that creates a plurality of graphical representations of channel nodes in the visual channel editor, the plurality of graphical representations including a graphical representation of a source node, zero or more graphical representations of a mapping node, zero or more graphical representations of a condition node, and at least one graphical representation of a destination node;
• receiving user input that selects one of the plurality of graphical representations corresponding to a first channel node;
• in response to the selection of the graphical representation, displaying, on the display device, a node configuration panel that displays one or more user interface controls that the user can manipulate to define configurable parameters for the first channel node;
• receiving user input to the one or more user interface controls, the user input defining configurable parameters for the first channel node;
• and
• using the user input to the one or more user interface controls to automatically generate one or more scripts to implement functionality specified in the defined configurable parameters on messages that are processed by the first channel node.

A method, performed by a computer system, for graphically defining a channel for converting a message in a first format used by a first HIT system into a second format used by a second HIT system, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a display device, a visual channel editor in which graphical representations of channel nodes can be arranged and interconnected to define a channel for processing messages from a first HIT system to convert the messages from a first format used by the first HIT system into a second format used by a second HIT system;
• receiving user input to the visual channel editor that creates a plurality of graphical representations of channel nodes in the visual channel editor, the plurality of graphical representations including a graphical representation of a source node, at least one graphical representation of a mapping node, and at least one graphical representation of a destination node;
• receiving user input that selects each of the plurality of graphical representations;
• in response to the selection of each of the graphical representation, displaying, on the display device, a node configuration panel that displays one or more user interface controls that the user can manipulate to define configurable parameters for the corresponding channel node;
• receiving user input to the one or more user interface controls, the user input defining configurable parameters for the corresponding channel node;
• using the user input to the one or more user interface controls to automatically generate one or more scripts to implement functionality specified in the defined configurable parameters on messages that are processed by the corresponding channel node;
• executing the channel, including executing the one or more scripts defined for the source node to receive messages in the first format from a specified source, executing the one or more scripts for each of the one or more mapping nodes to apply mapping functions to data of the messages to convert the messages to the second format, and executing the one or more scripts for each of the one or more destination nodes to store the messages in a specified location.
