Message
An object of communication. It is something that provides information; it can also be the information itself. Therefore, its meaning is dependent upon the context in which it is used; the term may apply to both the information and its form.

There are two main senses of the word "message" in computer science: messages passed within software, which may or may not be human-readable, and human-readable messages delivered via computer software for person-to-person communication.

Healthcare organizations, like other organizations, depend on sharing information to improve their business and professional practice. Applications and information systems no longer act alone. Information must be sourced from, and presented to, a number of different locations - be they financial, clinical or administrative.
