  • Patent number: 11404157
    Abstract: A mapping system provides a graphical editor, consisting of a visual channel editor and a node configuration panel, for graphically defining channels for processing messages. Within the visual channel editor, the user is able to create a graphical representation of a channel by interconnecting representations of a source node, mapping nodes, condition nodes, and destination nodes. When a node is selected in the visual channel editor, the node configuration panel displays user interface controls in which the user specifies parameters for the selected node. The mapping system automatically generates scripts for implementing the functionality defined by the user input. In this manner, a user need not have any knowledge of scripting to define mappings to apply to messages. The mapping system may be used to perform mappings of messages of virtually any type, but has specific applicability to mapping messages between Health Information Technology (HIT) systems.
