  • Patent number: 12191011
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240146694
    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for securely managing the transmission of register operations to endpoint devices (e.g., circuit breakers and other forms of electrical equipment). A firewall management component can add, through a secure communications channel, an entry to a firewall structure maintained on a firewall device. The entry can specify (i) a register operation for an endpoint device, (ii) a value for the register operation, and (iii) a count of times that the register operation can be performed. The firewall management component transmits register operation to the firewall device to be forwarded to the endpoint device. The firewall device is configured to forward the register operation to the endpoint device only if the count specified in the firewall structure would not be exceeded.
