System and method for a healthcare communication framework
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for event-based asynchronous communication:
- generating events in an application layer of a computer software system, the application layer including user interface elements and modules that are responsive to user interactions, the computer software system running on a computer implementing a healthcare communication framework (HCF), the events being requests to asynchronously invoke service operations exported by another computer software system;
storing the generated events in a database table; and
scanning the database table by a process of the healthcare communication framework at a time after the generated events are stored, the process being run as part of the healthcare communication framework, wherein during each scan the process is configured to;
group the events in the database table into packages based on a predetermined criteria,for each package;
check consistency for each event contained in the package, the consistency check determining whether relevant context information is provided in each event,apply a consolidation logic to consolidate events contained in the package, wherein the consolidation logic determines whether multiple events invoke a respective service and combines later events of the multiple events into a first event of the multiple events to consolidate invocation of the respective service,determine services operations associated with the consolidated events and each event not being consolidated, andinvoke the service operations asynchronously.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is described for asynchronous service-based communication. The method includes steps of generating events in an application layer of a computer software system, storing the generated events in a database table and scanning the database table by a process of a healthcare communication framework (HCF) at a time after the generated events are stored. The computer software system can run on a computer implementing the HCF and the generated events targeting service operations exported by another software system. During each scan the process is configured to group the events in the database table into packages based on a respective context of each event. For each package: consistency is checked for each event contained in the package, a consolidation logic is applied to consolidate events contained in the package, services operations associated with each event not being consolidated are found, and the service operations are invoked asynchronously.
