Secure global health information exchange

A processor-readable storage medium comprising code configured to cause a processing circuit to:

• use a healthcare informatics system to obtain first medical information that is encoded in accordance with a first coding scheme;
• provide a first cryptographic key to a patient device after receiving a request from the patient device for keys to be used to encrypt the first medical information;
• encode the first medical information and the first cryptographic key in an optical code that is displayed for capture by a clinician device;
• responsive to a request from the clinician device, use a mapping to translate the first medical information to obtain second medical information that is encoded in accordance with a second coding scheme;
• and
• provide the second medical information to the clinician device,
• wherein the second medical information is provided to the clinician device after the clinician device has decrypted the optical code using the first cryptographic key.
