Healthcare data compatibility system for legacy electronic record systems
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11967427B2) describes a system designed to facilitate compatibility between legacy electronic record systems, particularly in the healthcare sector. The system includes legacy electronic records systems, appliances, and a gateway server all interconnected in a network. The appliances are responsible for converting electronic records data between legacy formats and a common network format, while the gateway server handles the conversion between additional legacy formats and the common format. This network ensures that transmissions between the appliances and the gateway server are conducted in the common network format, maintaining the association between patient identifiers and healthcare provider identifiers during the conversion process.
Furthermore, the system allows for the integration of multiple legacy electronic records systems without the need for database synchronization. Each component within the network, including the appliances and the gateway server, has specific functionalities to ensure the smooth conversion and transmission of electronic medical records data. Additionally, the system features closed network healthcare provider identifiers and patient identifiers, distinct from the legacy identifiers, to streamline the data exchange process. The system also includes provisions for assigning new identifiers and maintaining an audit trail of exchanged data, ensuring security and traceability within the network. Overall, this patented system offers a comprehensive solution for interoperability between disparate legacy electronic record systems, particularly in the context of electronic medical records management.
