Protocol Object

Modules may exchange data directly with other modules through inter-module communication (IMC). IMC Protocols are defined by HIMSA and each protocol is assigned a unique protocol identifier. Information about the protocols supported by a module is expressed through the Protocols collection, which is a collection of Protocol objects.

Besides the protocols supported by a Server module, information regarding the data that can be exchanged is also needed. This information is supplied through a DataType collection attached to each Protocol object.

For more information on Inter-Module Communication, refer to the Inter-Module Communication (IMC) Documentation page.
