Method and system for transferring health care data

摘要

A data transfer method includes requesting a first portion of health care data corresponding to a user from a first information source 112 and requesting a second portion of health care corresponding to a user from a second information source 114. Both data portions are received and stored in a health care data repository 126. The data portions can then be accessed by a consumer healthcare application 122. Health care data is transferred using messages adhering to a health care data transfer protocol which comprises a request message used to request an action corresponding to a portion of health care data and a response message corresponding to the request message used to return the result of performing the action.
