  • Patent number: 10629310
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for facilitating communication of health information. A system can include a request management module to receive, from a source endpoint, an electronic query. The query can be formatted according to a first communications protocol and can include at least one request parameter. A destination identifier module can determine a destination endpoint and a second destination endpoint. A translation module can translate the electronic query from the first communications protocol to a second communications protocol associated with the destination endpoint to generate a translated query. The translation module can also translate the electronic query from the first communications protocol to a third communications protocol associated with the second destination endpoint to generate a second translated query.
