Abstract: A central computing entity receives an encrypted request for performance of a back-end function, the encrypted request associated with a provider and a corresponding practice management system; generates a trigger indication that comprises patient identifying information based on the encrypted request; processes the trigger indication using a program code module corresponding to the back-end function and operating on the central computing entity to generate a response; converts the response into a notification in a format corresponding to the practice management system; and encrypts and provides the notification such that a user computing entity receives the notification. The user computing entity may be configured to provide at least a part of the notification or a graphical representation thereof via a user interface of the user computing entity.
