Claims
1
A method for integrating a kiosk system with a healthcare information system, said method comprising:
generating a query for at least one of information and a service;
forming a message including the query using a Web service;
communicating the message between the kiosk system and the healthcare information system using the Web service; and
returning a result based on the message.
Relevance
The prior art (see among other aspects its claim 1, excerpted above), anticipates this. For example, the prior art's "selectively access data from at least one external database" is broader than the present application's "query using a web service"; using a web service is one means to gain access to a database / information system (the prior art's "database" is also more general than the present application's "healthcare information system").
