Layered diagram of the Iuvo Connect Electronic Messaging solution
and message flow: -


Microsoft Windows based and utilising the latest Microsoft
technologies, including Windows 2000 and SQL Server, this product provides all
the tools needed to set-up, maintain and manage an electronic messaging
operation.
The product consists of three core components:-
1. An Intuitive Management & Administration
Component
2. Powerful Message & File Translation Agent(s)
3. A Message Tracking and Control Component

1. Management & Administration Component
Only trained Administrators are provided access to this module through the
Web-Browser Front End. As this module provides all the necessary tools for
configuring and maintaining individual translation agents for the required
messages types/flows. A message flow equates to a solution layer as detailed in
the above diagram. This module also provides administrators the ability to
create and maintain new user accounts and set security access levels.

2. Message & File Translation Agent(s)
This core component performs the translation of data between different file
structures, including ODBC to EDI/XML, Flat File to EDI/XML, /EDI to Flat
File/XML, EDI to EDI and Flat File to Flat File. These translation agent(s)
also handle encryption and has the ability to convert data and field formats,
including modifying date format and changing local codes to national codes i.e.
in-house pathology results code to the national READ / SNOMED code equivalent.
This minimises the amount of customisation required in the existing in-house
systems and allows user to output data in their preferred file structure.

3. Message Tracking and Control Components
This component is also accessed through the Web-Browser Front End and is used
to administer, track and control the whole messaging process. From receipt of
the output file/data (CDS, Pathology, Radiology etc) through translation into
the appropriate EDI message structure, encryption (if required) and transfer of
messages through the Data Transfer Service (DTS). Plus the handling of inbound
reports and returned acknowledgement messages, as appropriate.
Each stage and key action within the process is tracked and audited, with
relevant information being stored in a relational SQL database. This has been
designed to enable users and administrators to have a single reference point
from which they can view reports and see the exact status of any messages going
through the system. Typically, the log will record the unique report number,
date of generation, recipient details, date/time translated, encrypted and
sent, plus receipt and match of inbound reports and acknowledgement messages,
as appropriate to the individual message flow.
