Abstract

Electronic records are formatted according to recipient addresses. When an electronic database record is received by a server or other device, the electronic database record has any formatting, herein termed a legacy format. The electronic database record is destined for delivery to device identified by a recipient address. The recipient address is associated with a software agent that reformats the legacy format into a different format. The electronic database record is thus reformatted according to software agent associated with the recipient address. A reformatted database record is thus sent to the recipient address, and the reformatted database record has the different format.

Claims (37)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a server, an electronic healthcare message formatted in a legacy format for a device identified by a recipient address;

comparing, by the server, the recipient address to a list of addresses;

determining, by the server, a match between the recipient address and an entry in the list of addresses;

reformatting, by the server, the electronic healthcare message from the legacy format into a reformatted healthcare message that is compatible with a different format associated with the recipient address; and

sending, from the server, the reformatted healthcare message to the recipient address.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing a rule associated with the recipient address.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing a rule associated with the different format.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising categorizing the electronic healthcare message.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating the legacy format to a software agent that reformats the electronic healthcare message.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encrypting the reformatted healthcare message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating the recipient address with a profile.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving an electronic healthcare message formatted in a legacy format for a device identified by a recipient address;

comparing the recipient address to a list of addresses;

determining a match between the recipient address and an entry in the list of addresses;

reformatting the electronic healthcare message from the legacy format into a reformatted healthcare message that is compatible with a different format associated with the recipient address; and

sending the reformatted healthcare message to the recipient address.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the recipient address.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the different format.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise categorizing the electronic healthcare message.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the legacy format to a software agent that reformats the electronic healthcare message.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise encrypting the reformatted healthcare message.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the recipient address with a profile.

15. A memory storing code that when executed causes a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving an electronic healthcare message formatted in a legacy format and destined for delivery to device identified by a recipient address;

comparing the recipient address to a list of addresses;

determining a match between the recipient address and an address in the list of addresses;

reformatting the electronic healthcare message from the legacy format into a reformatted healthcare message that is compatible with a different format associated with the recipient address; and

sending the reformatted healthcare message to the recipient address.

16. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the recipient address.

17. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the different format.

18. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise categorizing the electronic healthcare message.

19. The memory of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the legacy format to a software agent that reformats the electronic healthcare message.
