Abstract:
1. A clinical operating system architecture implemented on a web server comprising: an event management services module; a process management module connected with the event management module; a services module connected with the process management module, wherein the services module handles security needs for all application services, wherein the application services comprise patient services, practitioner services and clinical event services, wherein the patient services provide authoritative patient identifiers and corresponding basic demographic information within the operating system, wherein the practitioner services provide authoritative identifiers of healthcare providers and corresponding basic demographic information within the operating system, wherein the clinical event services provide an authoritative index of clinical event information available within a context of the operating system; a data services module connected with the services module; a data federation module connected with the data services module; a security module; and a governance module; wherein each module comprises self-contained service layers coupled together and all modules are interconnected and communicate therebetween; wherein the data federation module inputs into an operating system database through a schema based invocation framework such that the operating system is configured to extract data from proprietary and external systems and translate the data for universal access, wherein the data federation module includes adaptors that read the data and translate the data, wherein the data is converted to one or more messages, wherein each message comprises a payload and a header in an XML-based document structure, wherein the translating the data includes applying transformation rules to metadata using a checklist, wherein the data federation module maps data elements to relational schema tables and abstracts users from underlying data provider details, wherein the data federation module communicates with down-stream data sources using a variety of protocols, wherein the data sources include applications, databases, services and hardware; wherein an external database inputs into the data federation module through an external services module; and wherein the security module encrypts utilizing a PKI standard and wherein the governance module gets policy requirements from a policy database.
