Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for accessing electronic medical records are provided in which a portable computing device uniquely associated with a user authenticates an identification of the user and automatically retrieves information corresponding to the user from electronic healthcare records systems using the identification. The retrieved information may be combined with other information and electronically delivered to a healthcare provider.
Claims31
An electronic medical records access system comprising a portable computing device uniquely associated with one of a plurality of users, the portable computing device being configured to execute an agent that:
- authenticates an identification of the one user associated with the portable computing device;
- automatically retrieves information corresponding to the one user from at least one electronic healthcare records system using the identification to access the at least one electronic healthcare records system;
- and
- electronically delivers a portion of the information to a healthcare provider.
An electronic device comprising one or more processors and non-transient storage that maintains data and instructions configured to cause one or more processors of a computing system to:
- authenticate an identification of a user uniquely associated with the electronic device;
- automatically retrieve information corresponding to the user from at least one electronic healthcare records system using the identification to access the at least one electronic healthcare records system;
- and
- electronically deliver a portion of the information to a healthcare provider.
A method, comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a first portable computing device, information identifying a user of the first portable computing device and a request for selected healthcare records corresponding to the user and an identity of a healthcare provider;
- causing the first portable computing device to authenticate identity of the user, wherein the authentication of the identity of the user serves as a consent of the user to release the selected healthcare records, wherein the portable computing device maintains encrypted information that identifies the user;
- and
- upon receiving information confirming the authentication of the identity of the user, transferring the selected healthcare records to a second computing device operated by the healthcare provider.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium comprising code for:
- receiving from a first portable computing device, information identifying a user of the first portable computing device and a request for selected healthcare records corresponding to the user and an identity of a healthcare provider;
- authenticating identity of the user, wherein the authentication of the identity of the user serves as a consent of the user to release the selected healthcare records, wherein the portable computing device maintains encrypted information that identifies the user;
- and
- upon receiving information confirming the authentication of the identity of the user, transferring the selected healthcare records to a second computing device operated by the healthcare provider.
