## Abstract

A system and method for managing data in a healthcare environment can include a content based router, and a healthcare record bank. The content based router can be configured to collect the data from a clinical data provider and convert the data in a format in accordance with a defined standard. The healthcare record bank can include or be coupled to a data repository. The healthcare record bank can be configured to be coupled to the clinical data provider through the content based router over a communication network. The healthcare record bank can be configured to store the data received from the clinical data provider and can be accessible or searchable from within or outside the healthcare record bank. The healthcare record bank can be coupled to or include a data logging unit configured to maintain metadata associated with the clinical data and configured to facilitate natural language processing capabilities.

## Independent claims

1. A system for managing data in a healthcare environment, said system comprising: a proxy database that creates a backup of data associated with a clinical data provider; a content based router that: collects said data from said proxy database; and converts said data in a format in accordance with a defined standard; a data repository operatively connected to said content based router; a healthcare record bank coupled to said data repository, wherein said healthcare record bank is coupled to said clinical data provider through said content based router over a communication network, wherein said healthcare record bank stores said data received from the clinical data provider and is accessible and searchable from within or outside said healthcare record bank; and a data logging unit operatively connected to said healthcare record bank, wherein said data logging unit maintains metadata associated with said data and facilitates natural language processing (NLP) capabilities of said metadata.

9. A system for managing data in a healthcare environment, said system comprising: a content based router that: collects data from a clinical data provider; and converts said data into a format in accordance with a defined standard; a data repository operatively connected to said content based router; a healthcare record bank operatively connected to said data repository, wherein said healthcare record bank is operatively connected to said clinical data provider through said content based router over a communication network, and wherein said healthcare record bank stores said data received from said clinical data provider and is accessible and searchable from within or outside said healthcare record bank; and a data logging unit operatively connected to said healthcare record bank, wherein said data logging unit maintains metadata associated with said data and facilitates natural language processing (NLP) capabilities of said metadata.

12. A method for managing data in a healthcare environment, said method comprising: creating a backup of data associated with a clinical data provider in a proxy database; using a content based router to: collect said data from the proxy database; and convert said data into a format in accordance with a defined standard; maintaining metadata associated with said data in a data logging unit; and providing natural language processing (NLP) capabilities for searching said metadata.

16. A non-transitory program storage device readable by computer, and comprising a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform a method for managing data in a healthcare environment, said method comprising: creating a backup of data associated with a clinical data provider in a proxy database; collecting said data from the proxy database; converting said data into a format in accordance with a defined standard; maintaining metadata associated with said data in a data logging unit; and providing natural language processing (NLP) capabilities for searching said metadata.
