Abstract: A processing system determines a validation status of an examination request for a patient. The examination request includes examination data that defines a clinical condition of the patient. A receipt module receives the examination request via a communication network; a storage module adapted for storing a plurality of predefined clinical definitions, predefined clinical definitions associated with at least one examination type. A matching module conducts a first stage analysis of the content, compares the content with the predefined clinical definitions in order to determine one or more matching definitions. A validation module compares the matching definitions against the match threshold of at least one examination type to determine a validation indicator of the examination request. A response module transmits the validation status of the exam request as an exam response via the communications network.

Abstract: A processing system and/or method for determining a validation status of an examination request for a patient, the examination request having content including a plurality of examination data defining a clinical condition of the patient. The system and/or method can include a receipt module or similar functionality for receiving the examination request via a communication network; a storage or similar functionality adapted for storing a plurality of predefined clinical definitions, each of the plurality of predefined clinical definitions associated with at least one examination type, the at least one examination type having a match threshold including a subset definition set from the plurality of predefined clinical definitions. The system and/or method can include a matching module or similar functionality adapted for conducting a first stage analysis of the content by comparing the content with the plurality of predefined clinical definitions in order to determine one or more matching definitions.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for coordinating concurrent processing of a plurality of messages communicated over a network between a source system and a target system. The plurality of messages are configured for including a pair of related messages having a common first unique message identifier and at least one unrelated message having a second unique message identifier different from the first unique identifier. The system and method comprise an input queue for storing the plurality of messages when received and an output message queue for storing the plurality of messages during message processing. The output message queue includes a plurality of execution streams for facilitating concurrent processing of the at least one unrelated message with at least one of the pair of related messages.
