A system and method is disclosed for providing a single portable and consistent non-proprietary interface between proprietary systems that are required to be integrated to facilitate workflow integration (i.e., the communication of data and messaging). The system includes a communication processor that receives a message from a first information system in a first data format and identifies the type of message received. The communication processor selects a particular message data format and a message destination from a plurality of message destinations based on the identified message type and the source of the received message. The communication processor converts the received message from the first data format to a different, i.e., second, data format to be communicated, via a communication interface, to a destination information system. The communication processor communicates the converted data in the different, i.e., second, data format to a destination information system. The system of the invention further includes a repository of information identifying a plurality of different message data formats associated with a corresponding plurality of different healthcare information system communication interfaces and wherein the communication processor selects the particular message data format and the destination, using the repository.
