Abstract
Techniques for multi-level authentication for medical data access are supported. A system may include a central medical information management system that provides restricted access to medical data. An accessing device supports multiple different authentication levels. For example, the accessing device may use a combination of device identifiers, passwords, and quick access codes to ensure access only by authorized users.
Claims21
A handheld apparatus comprising:
- a user interface comprising a display and capable of receiving user input;
- a wireless network interface capable of coupling to a central medical information management system;
- a memory maintaining a medical information management application;
- a processor operable, when executing the medical information management application:
- to communicate a practice key identifying a selected one of a plurality of medical practices to the medical information management system;
- to receive a list of authorized users for the selected medical practice from the medical information management system;
- to display the list using the display;
- to receive a selection of one of the authorized users using the user interface;
- to receive a password using the user interface;
- to communicate an identification of the selected authorized user and the password to the medical information management system;
- to receive a quick access code associated with the selected authorized user from the medical information management system;
- to receive electronic medical case information corresponding to the selected medical practice from the medical information management system;
- to provide a use mode and a standby mode, wherein the use mode permits access to the electronic medical case information and the standby mode restricts access to the electronic medical case information;
- and
- to permit transition from the standby mode to the use mode based on entry of the quick access code using the user interface.
