1. A method according to a set of instructions stored on a memory of a computing device for transforming and transporting health information, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of the computing device, a secured message including the health information from an organization that is involved in health care, the secured message including meta-data;
categorizing, based on an identifier included with the received health information and representing a type of service and a domain of one or more entities to whom the received health information should be routed, the received health information into a health information category associated with a type of health information included in the secured message;
converting, by the processor, the received health information based on at least one predetermined rule, wherein the conversion comprises;
de-identifying the received health information,extracting data including the meta-data from the health information to determine the one or more entities to whom the health information should be routed,confirming that the health information conforms to a third-party standard, wherein the confirming further comprises error-correcting the received health information, andconverting the data to a proper, normalized, and conformant format based on the third-party standard or other third-party standards;
routing, by the processor, the de-identified health information to the determined one or more entities; and
