Method, apparatus, and medium using a master control file for computer software interoperability between disparate operating systems

A method of interfacing one or more client computing devices with a server computer that executes a medical records system over a data network, comprising:

• storing, by the server computer a master control file to control interoperability of the medical records system on the server with disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices by specifying data access and mapping information between a database of text and medical image data of a medical record of the medical records system and the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices over the data network, based upon respective function engines and application program interfaces for the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices;
• and
• serving, by the server computer, over the data network multi-form management, device capture management and folder management services of the medical records system for the disparate operation systems of the one or more client computing devices by populating and retrieving information to and from the database of text and medical image data of the medical record responsive to any one of the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices, based upon the specified data access and mapping information of the master control file according to the respective function engines and application program interfaces for the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executed by a server computer with a medical records system to interface with one or more client computing devices by executing functions comprising:

• storing by the server computer a master control file to control interoperability of the medical records system on the server with disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices by specifying data access and mapping information between a database of text and medical image data of a medical record of the medical records system and the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices over the data network, based upon respective function engines and application program interfaces of the disparate operating systems for the one or more client computing devices;
• and
• serving by the server computer over the data network multi-form management, device capture management and folder management services of the medical records system for the disparate operation systems of the one or more client computing devices by populating and retrieving information to and from the database of text and medical image data of the medical record responsive to any one of the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices, based upon the specified data access and mapping information of the master control file according to the respective function engines and application program interfaces for the disparate operating systems of the one or more client computing devices.
