  • Methods, systems and computer program products for handling data records using an application programming interface (API) and directory management system
    Patent number: 12299166
    Abstract: An application programming interface (API) resident on a computer is provided that, upon receiving a message that a data set associated with an encounter experienced by a subject is available, causes a processor to read a structured file associated with the data set, the structured file having a set of records assigned to a subset of pre-defined fields and a location of one or more unstructured objects, the pre-defined fields being organized according to an ontology having at least records related to the subject, the encounter and the data set; and populate at least first and second independent and distinct relational databases using endpoints of the API. The first relational database excludes records associated with the subject and the encounter and the second relational database includes records associated with the subject and the encounter. The second relational database includes multiple tables that can be accessed by invoking the API.
