AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent discusses using a data conversion algorithm to convert medical data from one format to another. By using a data record or object (MOB) in an intermediate form, the data is saved in a more organized way to prevent loss of information. The MOB allows for a double check on the conversion process, ensuring proper capture of all data. This results in a destination file that contains the requested medical data in a different format. The technical effect of this process is to retain data integrity and prevent translation errors when converting medical data from one file type to another.

Problems solved by technology

When one tries to convert a file directly from source A to designation H file types without going through the intermediate MOB conversion, a loss of information and poor translation is generally encountered.

Abstract

A health information exchange (HIE) system and related methods for sharing patient medical data among a plurality of users. In one embodiment, the HIE system includes a processor executing a software application and one or more databases. Medical data may be downloaded by a first user to the system in a source file format. The system converts and stores the medical data in a data record such as an object having a different type of data structure. Upon receiving a request from a second user for the medical data in a specified destination file format, the system retrieves and converts the object containing the medical data into the specified destination file format, and sends the destination file to the second user. The source and destination file formats may be the same or different. In one embodiment, users may access and communicate with the HIE system via the Internet.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims of the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 644,182, filed May 8, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to electronic health records, and more particularly to computer processor based systems and methods fur electronically storing and exchanging patient health files and medical data.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Health Information Exchange (HIE) systems are intended to all users such as health care providers, hospitals, laboratories, and others to store, transmit, and exchange patient medical information. Hitherto, HIE systems and similar medical data repositories have generally required users to use only specific data file formats regardless of the diversity and type of medical source data (e.g. X-rays, MRIs, lab results, photographs, videos, technician notes, etc.). This has been problematic because d...
