Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for messaging with heterogeneous inter-related attachments. Embodiments provide messaging systems, devices and methods for electronic messaging with attachments containing, for example, documents created from a translating print driver and/or documents containing identifiers associating the documents to a subject.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- one or more storage devices having one or more clinical databases adapted to store a plurality of heterogeneous clinical documents for a plurality of patients, with at least one patient having multiple heterogeneous clinical documents;
- and
- a clinical client device coupled to the one or more storage devices, including a client side of a secure messaging service and a clinical document attachment service, wherein the client side of the secure messaging service is adapted to facilitate a clinical service provider in creatin and secure providing one or more electronic clinical messages to one or more recipients via a server side of the secure messaging service, and the clinical document attachment service is adapted to enable and facilitate selective attachment of heterogeneous clinical documents to the one or more electronic clinical messages,
- wherein the clinical document attachment service includes an identifier generation service for embedding an identifier of a patient in each of the plurality of heterogeneous clinical documents, and wherein the clinical document attachment service is adapted to determine whether a clinical document has an embedded patient identifier, and invoke the identifier generation service to embed a patient identifier when determining a clinical document does not have an embedded patient identifier, the same identifier embedded in each of a plurality of documents associated with an individual patient;
- and
- wherein the server side of the secure messaging service is adapted to secure an electronic clinical message with a split key having a first and a second key portion, and provide a notification to the recipient with one of the key portions for use to retrieve the electronic clinical message.
3 more elements
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- facilitating, by a client side of a secure messaging service operating on a client device, a sender in creating a clinical message;
- examining, by a document examination service operating on the client device, an electronic version of a first document to determine whether the electronic version has an embedded identifier associating the first document with an entity, wherein the electronic version of the first document is to be attached to the electronic clinical message;
- conditionally embedding, by an identifier generation service operating on the client device, an identifier identifying the entity in the electronic version of the first document to associate said first document with the entity;
- examining, by the document examination service, an electronic version of a second document to determine whether the electronic version has the embedded identifier associating the second document with the entity, wherein the electronic version of the second document is to be attached to the electronic clinical message;
- conditionally embedding, by the identifier generation service, the identifier identifying the entity in the electronic version of the second document to associate said second document with the entity;
- attaching, by a clinical document attachment service operating on the client device, the electronic versions of the first and second documents to said electronic clinical message;
- and
- securely transmitting the electronic clinical message, by the client side of the secure messaging service, to a recipient, wherein the secure transmission is in cooperation of with a server side of the secure messaging service which employs a split key having a first and a second key portion to secure the clinical electronic message.
