Abstract

A new and improved operating system is described. The system enables a user to receive information in many different types of formats and converts them into a uniform format. The system can also use the information to fill out forms in different types of formats, and then send them to the appropriate recipient.

Claims

1. A clinical operating system server comprising:

a memory storing a plurality of executable self-contained service modules of a clinical operating system, including a services module comprising at least one patients services layer; and

a processor coupled with the memory and configured, by executing the at least one patient services layer, to;

accept a markup language message from a device via a message adapter within the services module;

provide, via at least one patient services layer, an authoritative patient identifier across the plurality of executable self-contain service modules of the clinical operating system based on the markup language message; and

return, via the message adapter, the authoritative patient identifier via the message adapter.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured, by executing the at least one patient services layer, to provide demographic information within the clinical operating system based on the authoritative patient identifier.

3. The server of claim 1, wherein the markup language message comprises a message header.

4. The server of claim 3, wherein the message header includes at least one of the following:

a unique message identifier, a message type, a message status, and a message description.

5. The server of claim 3, wherein the message header lacks encryption.

6. The server of claim 1, wherein the markup language message comprises a message payload.

7. The server of claim 6, wherein the message payload comprises a message type.

8. The server of claim 7, wherein the message payload adheres to a schema defined for the message type.

9. The server of claim 7, wherein the message type is registered with the at least one patient services layer.

10. The server of claim 6, wherein the message payload is encrypted.

11. The server of claim 1, wherein the markup language message comprises data relevant to a patient treatment.

12. The server of claim 11, wherein the data comprises a portion of the patient'"'"'s health record data and is less than the patient'"'"'s entire health record.

13. The server of claim 1, wherein the return message includes a portion of the patient'"'"'s health record data.

14. The server of claim 1, wherein the markup language message comprises a typed message.

15. The server of claim 1, wherein the markup language message adheres to an extensible markup language.

16. The server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured, by executing the at least one patient services layer, to return the return message to a second adapter.

17. The server of claim 16, wherein the second adapter is associated with at least one service module from the plurality of executable self-contained service modules.

18. The server of claim 17, wherein the at least one service module is selected from a group consisting of:

an event management module, an event monitoring module, a process management module, a workflow module, a data services module, and a data federation module.

19. The server of claim 16, wherein the second adapter is associated with at least one services layer within the services module.

20. The server of claim 19, wherein the at least one service layer is selected from a group consisting of:

a routing service layer, a configuration service layer, an application service layer, a clinical operating system administration portal, an infrastructure service layer, and a message management layer

21. The server of claim 16, wherein the second adapter comprises a device driver.

22. The server of claim 1, wherein the patient services layer is an application services layer within the services module.

23. The server of claim 1, wherein the adapter comprises a web server.

24. The server of claim 23, wherein the adapter further comprises a web service.

25. The server of claim 1, wherein each self-contained services module in the plurality of self-contained services modules loosely couples with other services modules via its own web services.

26. The server of claim 1, wherein the device comprises a portable device.
