Methods, systems, and products for format conversion
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.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a server, an electronic healthcare record associated with a recipient address;
comparing, by the server, the recipient address to addresses registered with a reformatting service that reformats the electronic healthcare record;
determining, by the server, that the recipient address is associated with the reformatting service;
executing, by the server, the reformatting service in response to the determining that the recipient address is associated with the reformatting service, the reformatting service generating a reformatted electronic healthcare record; and
sending, from the server, the reformatted electronic healthcare record to the recipient address.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a legacy format associated with the electronic healthcare record.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising encrypting the reformatted electronic healthcare record.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing a rule associated with the reformatting service.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing a rule associated with the recipient address.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing a rule associated with a format of the electronic healthcare record.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising categorizing the electronic healthcare record.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising associating the reformatting service to a software agent that reformats the electronic healthcare record.
9. A system, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving an electronic healthcare record associated with a recipient address;
comparing the recipient address to addresses registered with a reformatting service that reformats electronic healthcare records;
determining that the recipient address is registered with the reformatting service;
executing the reformatting service that reformats the electronic healthcare record from a format to a reformatted electronic healthcare record that is compatible with a different format registered with the recipient address; and
sending the reformatted electronic healthcare record to the recipient address.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise converting the electronic healthcare record from a legacy format.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise encrypting the reformatted electronic healthcare record.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the reformatting service.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the recipient address.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the different format.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise categorizing the electronic healthcare record.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the format to a software agent that reformats the electronic healthcare record.
17. A memory device storing code that when executed causes a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving an electronic healthcare record at a reformatting service, the electronic healthcare record associated with a recipient address;
comparing the recipient address to addresses registered with the reformatting service;
determining that the recipient address is registered with the reformatting service;
executing the reformatting service in response to the determining that the recipient address is registered with the reformatting service, the reformatting service changing the electronic healthcare record from a format to a reformatted electronic healthcare record that is compatible with a different format associated with the recipient address; and
sending the reformatted electronic healthcare record to the recipient address.
18. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise converting the electronic healthcare record from a legacy format.
19. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise encrypting the reformatted electronic healthcare record.
20. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise executing a rule associated with the reformatting service.
