## Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for storing patient medical information on a local processing device, anonymizing a portion of that medical information and storing it on a second processing device, exposing that anonymized medical information to a third processing device coupled to the second processing device through a network, and restricting users of the third processing device to only accessing HIPAA compliant medical information. Alarms are included for indicating the improper transfer of HIPAA data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method including the steps of:
encoding on a processor readable storage device, medical information from a verified source, said medical information including a personally identifiable information (PII), and a primary index;
anonymizing the portion of medical information and transferring it to a first structured data store operable to receive at least a portion of the medical data, said first structured data store including a secondary index, wherein the primary index and the secondary index are configured to only allow for one-way indexing, and
separating the processor readable storage device from the first structured data store.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the storage device is a subscriber identity module (SIM) and the transferring is effectuated with a SIM reader, wherein the SIM reader is operable to transfer medical information on the SIM to the first structured data store.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the primary index and the secondary index are related to each other through a third structured data source.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 where the separating is either physically or electrically.

### Claim 5

A method including the steps of:
encoding on a processor readable storage device, medical information from a verified source, said medical information including a personally identifiable information (PII), and a primary index;
generating a security certificate keyed to the medical information;
transferring the medical information and certificate to a first structured data store operable to receive a portion of the medical data, said first structured data store including a secondary index, wherein the primary index and the secondary index are configured to only allow for one-way indexing.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5 wherein the storage device is a subscriber identity module (SIM) and the transferring is effectuated with a SIM reader, wherein the SIM reader is operable to transfer medical information on the SIM to the first structured data store.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5 wherein the primary index and the secondary index are related to each other through a third structured data source.
