Platform for interoperable healthcare data exchange
First Claim
1. An interoperable healthcare data exchange platform for gathering health records from a plurality of disparate locations, the platform comprising:
- a message handling service to request and receive the health records in real time, wherein the message handling service converts the health records to a standard protocol;
a mapping engine that receives the converted health records and maps the converted health records to a standard heath terminology;
a data store for receiving and storing the mapped, converted health records, wherein the data store stores the mapped, converted health records using the standard protocol and the standard heath terminology; and
a information governance application for providing controlled access to the data store.

Abstract
The interoperable healthcare data exchange platform seamlessly links a plurality of disparate, remote applications generally representing provider systems containing electronic health records (EHRs) to enable the real-time collection, processing and centralized storage of health records at a data store, along with enabling controlled access to the centralized storage. The central health records data store receives, in real time, substantially complete electronic medical data input from multiple, disparate providers and sources of health records. The platform enable semantic normalization of the health records by converting the data in the health records to standardized message formats using a data conversion engine and mapping the converted data to standard terminologies using mapping products.

2. A distributed computer system for collection health records from a health care provider, the system comprising:
-
a first database comprising said health records associated with said health care provider;
a records extraction system connected to the first database, the records extraction system comprising;
an extraction module configured to copy selected health records, translate the selected health records into a pre-specified format, store the translated health records in a single file, encrypt the file using a pre-specified encryption scheme, and transmit the encrypted file across a network, a data collection server, wherein the data collection server receives the encrypted file, decrypts the encrypted file using the pre-specified encryption scheme, and translates the file into an internal data storage format, and an extraction database for temporarily storing the translated health care data records; and
a central storage system connected to the records extraction system for receiving and scoring the stored health care review data records from the extraction database. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A health records collection method comprising:
-
providing a first database comprising health records;
extracting said health records, said extracting step comprising copying selected health records, translating the selected health records into a pre-specified XML format, storing the translated health records in a single XML file, encrypting the XML file using a pre-specified encryption scheme, and transmitting the encrypted XML file across a network to a data collection server;
said data collection server decrypting the encrypted XML file using the pre-specified encryption scheme and translating the XML file into an internal data storage format comprising health care review data records;
transmitting the translated health care data records to a central storage system for storing the translated health care data records. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A national health records collection system comprising plurality of electronic health records systems (EHR);
a message handling service a implemented on plurality of networked computers connected to said EHRs, wherein each of the EHRs sends associated health records to the message handling service, wherein the message handling service comprises a transformation and normalization system attached to said electronic health records systems to take data from plurality of EHRs and normalizes for storage in a central database. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
