Patent ID: 8918385

Claim:
A system for correlating electronic pharmacy data and electronic medical records, comprising: a correlation module; a first link that communicatively connects the correlation module and a pharmacy computer network, the pharmacy computer network configured to generate messages using a first protocol; a second link that communicatively connects the correlation module and a second computer network, the second computer network configured to generate messages using a second protocol; and a database configured to store data corresponding to the pharmacy computer network, wherein the correlation module is configured to be executed by one or more processors to: receive, via the second link and using the second protocol, an EMR-based query originated by the second computer network, wherein contents of the EMR-based query are based on an electronic medical record (EMR) corresponding to a patient, the EMR being stored in the second computer network; determine, based on the contents of the EMR-based query, that the EMR-based query is destined for the pharmacy computer network; convert, based on the data corresponding to the pharmacy computer network stored in the database, the EMR-based query into the first protocol used by the pharmacy computer network; and cause the converted EMR-based query to be transmitted to the pharmacy computer network via the first link.
