English term or phrase: maps
Architecturally, the NEHEN system leaves data structures and applications alone, even if they are fragmented in different locations or in different systems. “The big win is not having to rewrite old code,” Halamka says, noting that some systems date from the 1970s. The system does, however, provide a central exchange that translates data structures from one system’s format and standards to another’s, and it maps specific transaction services from one system to another, aggregating multiple service requests and using multiple databases when necessary. “The data and the services are very disassociated,” Halamka notes. “But it doesn’t matter whether they all sit in one place, as long as the doctor gets it all in a timely fashion.”

Explanation:
"it maps specific transaction services"

In this context, "to map" means the software creates a list of which service or data is on what computer, what it is called, how to interface with it, etc. Instead of having to have every service and all the data on every computer in the network, the software uses the map to locate what it needs to use.
