Abstract

An automated medical test data report, tracking, and patient matching system devised to enable secure transmittal of medical test results data over network between a hosting computing apparatus and at least one receiving computing apparatus is provided. Triple tiered security is enabled by action of paired cryptographic keys, sequencing of data by generation of a randomized and securely-shared sequencing order, and fragmentation of data from a data stream into sortable data packets routable to separate and remotely connected partitions by appending a sort code into each data packet collectively prevent compromise of data in transmission over network.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A method for automated medical test data report, tracking, and patient matching system devised to enable secure transmittal of medical test results data over network between a hosting computing apparatus and a receiving computing apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:

initiating a communication request from a hosting computing apparatus and transmitting the communication request to a receiving computing apparatus;
returning a receipt prompt from the receiving computing apparatus to the hosting computing apparatus;
transmitting a first public key from the hosting computing apparatus to the receiving computing apparatus;
transmitting a second public key from the receiving apparatus to the hosting computing apparatus;
generating a randomized sequencing order at the hosting computing apparatus following receipt of the second public key;
transmitting the sequencing order from the hosting computing apparatus to the receiving computing apparatus as part of an encrypted transmission locked by the second public key, said encrypted transmission decodable by matching the second public key with an equivalent private key securely hosted on the receiving computing apparatus;
extracting the sequencing order sent from the hosting computing apparatus and caching said sequencing order to temporary memory;
transmitting a data receipt to the hosting computing apparatus from the receiving computing apparatus, said data receipt locked by the first public key for match with a private key securely stored upon the hosting computing apparatus;
securely transmitting a first packet of medical data encoded with the patient identification number embedded to the transmission according to sequencing as dictated by the sequencing order, said first packet of medical data encoded and locked by the second public key for match with the private key stored at the receiving computing apparatus;
returning a data packet receipt to the hosting computer upon receipt of the first packet of medical data;
deleting the sequencing order from the hosting computing apparatus after receipt of the data packet receipt;
re-sequencing the patient identification number from the first packet of medical data by action of the sequencing order;
routing the medical data to a patient medical record matched to the patient identification number to effect update of medical record;
deleting the sequencing order from the receiving computing apparatus;
and
repeating the above steps for as many packets of medical data are required until transmission is complete.

initiating a communication request from a hosting computing apparatus and transmitting the communication request to at least one receiving computing apparatus;
returning a receipt prompt from each at least one receiving computing apparatus to the hosting computing apparatus;
transmitting a first public key from the hosting computing apparatus to each at least one receiving computing apparatus;
transmitting a separate public key from each at least one receiving apparatus to the hosting computing apparatus;
generating a randomized sequencing order at the hosting computing apparatus following receipt of the separate public key from each at least one receiving computing apparatus;
transmitting the sequencing order from the hosting computing apparatus to each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus as part of an encrypted transmission locked by the separate public key associated with each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus, said encrypted transmission decodable by matching the separate public key with an equivalent private key securely hosted on each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus;
extracting the sequencing order sent from the hosting computing apparatus and caching said sequencing order to temporary memory in each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus;
transmitting a data receipt to the hosting computing apparatus from each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus, said data receipt locked by the first public key for match with a private key securely stored upon the hosting computing apparatus;
sequencing a patient identification number into a medical data packet as dictated by the sequencing order to create a merged data stream;
fragmenting the merged data stream into fragmented data packets delimited by insertion of a plurality of sort codes;
transmitting each fragmented data packet over network to a separate and unique destination location as directed by each of the plurality of the sort code;
returning a data packet receipt to the hosting computer upon receipt of one of the fragmented data packets at one of the at least one receiving computer apparatus;
deleting the sequencing order from the hosting computing apparatus after receipt of the data packet receipt from each of the at least one receiving computing apparatus;
re-sequencing the patient identification number from each packet of medical data by action of the sequencing order;
routing the medical data to a patient medical record matched to the patient identification number to effect update of the medical record;
deleting the sequencing order from the at least one receiving computing apparatus;
and
repeating the above steps for as many packets of medical data are required until transmission is complete.
