HCAI Overview

A service named: SmartSimple HCAI Gateway has been created to handle requests from various SmartSimple servers.

This gateway handles all communications between any instances of SmartSimple, regardless of the server on which that instance is running.

Once the gateway receives a request for an instance the following steps are executed:

• Normalizes the data.
• Generates the HCAI compliant date based on the HCAI structure data model.
• Sends the data to HCAI via web service.
• Interprets and sends back appropriate HCAI responses.
