Quicksilver: a novel publish and subscribe clinical messaging platform.
The authors introduce and describe the features of Quicksilver, a novel clinical messaging platform deployed in a multidisciplinary academic primary care clinic. The system follows a publication-subscription messaging paradigm employing dynamic role-based addressing. Quicksilver leverages the open-source XMPP, a powerful and extensible protocol for efficient asynchronous and synchronous communication commonly used in instant messaging applications.
