US 2019/0198181 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATION OF HEALTH INFORMATION

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems and methods for facilitating communication of health information. A system can include a request management module to receive, from a source endpoint, an electronic query. The query can be formatted according to a first communications protocol and can include at least one request parameter. A destination identifier module can determine a destination endpoint and a second destination endpoint. A translation module can translate the electronic query from the first communications protocol to a second communications protocol associated with the destination endpoint to generate a translated query. The translation module can also translate the electronic query from the first communications protocol to a third communications protocol associated with the second destination endpoint to generate a second translated query. The request management module can transmit the translated query and the second translated query to the destination endpoint and the second destination endpoint, respectively.

Dependent claims

A system for facilitating communication of health information, the system comprising a processor coupled to a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive, from a source endpoint, an electronic query corresponding to a request for health information of a patient, wherein the query is formatted according to a first communications protocol, includes at least one request parameter, and does not specify a destination endpoint, wherein the at least one request parameter is at least one of a geographical location of the patient, a list of medications prescribed to the patient, and a time period;
determine a first destination endpoint and a second destination endpoint different from the first destination endpoint, based on the electronic query;
determine a second communications protocol associated with the first destination endpoint;
translate the electronic query from the first communications protocol to the second communications protocol to generate a translated query;
transmit the translated query to the first destination endpoint;
and
receive, from the first destination endpoint, a response to the translated query, the response formatted according to the second communications protocol.

A method for facilitating communication of health information, the method comprising:

receiving, by a request management module from a source endpoint, an electronic query corresponding to a request for health information of a patient, wherein the query is formatted according to a first communications protocol, includes at least one request parameter, and does not specify a destination endpoint, wherein the at least one request parameter is at least one of a geographical location of the patient, a list of medications prescribed to the patient, and a time period;
determining, by a destination identifier module, a first destination endpoint and a second destination endpoint different from the first destination endpoint, based on the electronic query;
determining, by a translation module, a second communications protocol associated with the first destination endpoint;
translating, by the translation module, the electronic query from the first communications protocol to the second communications protocol to generate a translated query;
transmitting, by the request management module, the translated query to the first destination endpoint;
and
receiving, by a response management module from the first destination endpoint, a response to the translated query, the response formatted according to the second communications protocol.
