Systems and methods for translating messages between a healthcare entity and a vendor entity
An inbound message including medical record content may be received. The inbound message may indicate a healthcare entity and a vendor entity. It may be determined, from the healthcare entity and stored correspondences between medical record formats and healthcare entities, that the medical record content of the inbound message is in a first medical record format. Which configuration record of stored configuration records specifying combinations of sets of rules may be determined to apply as a translation to the inbound message based upon the medical record content of the inbound message and the first medical record format. The sets of rules as indicated by the configuration record may be accessed and applied to the inbound message to translate the medical record content in the inbound message from the first medical record format to the standardized format. The standardized format may be transmitted to the vendor entity.
1. A system configured to convert messages communicated between a healthcare entity and a vendor entity, the messages including medical record content, the system comprising:
physical non-transitory electronic storage storing:
configuration record information, wherein the configuration record information includes configuration records specifying individual combinations of rules to convert messages between medical record formats and a standardized medical record format, an individual configuration record specifying an individual combination of rules to convert the messages between an individual medical record format of an individual healthcare entity and the standardized medical record format; and
one or more physical computer processors configured by computer readable instructions to:
receive an inbound message including particular medical record content, the inbound message indicating the individual healthcare entity and a vendor entity;
determine, based on the configuration record information, which one of the configuration records to use to convert the inbound message to the standardized medical record format, wherein determination of which of the one of the configuration records to use is based on the particular medical record content of the inbound message and indication of one or both of the individual healthcare entity or the vendor entity;
responsive to the determination of which of the one of the configuration records to use, convert the particular medical record content in the inbound message from the individual medical record format to the standardized medical record format in accordance with the individual combination of rules; and
effectuate transmission of the particular medical record content in the standardized medical record format to the vendor entity.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the individual medical record format is similar to at least one other medical record format.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the individual medical record format and other individual ones of the medical record formats differ based upon customizations by individual healthcare entities.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the individual combination of rules specify differences between the individual medical record format and the other individual ones of the medical record formats based upon the customizations.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first rule in the individual combination of rules includes parsing the particular medical record content in the inbound message into structured objects including data fields.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein a second rule in the individual combination of rules includes converting the data fields from the structured objects into standardized format fields of the standardized medical record format.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the configuration records specify sets of rules that reference nested configuration records.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the nested configuration records specify combinations of the sets of rules that are common between the one or more of the configuration records that reference the nested configuration records.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the particular medical record content includes an electronic health record.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein individual ones of the medical record formats follow one or more standards of communication.
11. A method to convert messages communicated between a healthcare entity and a vendor entity, the messages including medical record content, the method being implemented in a computer system comprising one or more physical computer processors and non-transitory electronic storage, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the one or more physical computer processors, configuration record information, the configuration record information including configuration records specifying individual combinations of rules to convert messages between medical record formats and a standardized medical record format, an individual configuration record specifying an individual combination of rules to convert the messages between an individual medical record format of an individual healthcare entity and the standardized medical record format;
receiving, by the one or more physical computer processors, an inbound message including particular medical record content, the inbound message indicating the individual healthcare entity and a vendor entity;
determining, by the one or more physical computer processors and based on the configuration record information, which one of the configuration records to use to convert the inbound message to the standardized medical record format, wherein the determining which of the one of the configuration records to use is based on the particular medical record content of the inbound message and indication of one or both of the individual healthcare entity or the vendor entity;
responsive to the determining which of the one of the configuration records to use, converting the particular medical record content in the inbound message from the individual medical record format to the standardized medical record format in accordance with the individual combination of rules; and
effectuating, by the one or more physical computer processors, transmission of the particular medical record content in the standardized medical record format to the vendor entity.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the individual medical record format is similar to at least one other medical record format.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the individual medical record format and other individual ones of the medical record formats differ based upon customizations by individual healthcare entities.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the individual combination of rules specify differences between the individual medical record format and the other individual ones of the medical record formats based upon the customizations.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein a first rule in the individual combination of rules includes parsing the medical record content in the inbound message into structured objects including data fields.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein a second rule in the individual combination of rules includes converting the data fields from the structured objects into standardized format fields of the standardized medical record format.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein one or more of the configuration records specify sets of rules that reference nested configuration records.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the nested configuration records specify combinations of the sets of rules that are common between the one or more of the configuration records that reference the nested configuration records.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the particular medical record content includes an electronic health record.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein individual ones of the medical record formats follow one or more standards of communication.
