Systems and methods for managing data in compliance with regulated privacy,
security, and electronic transaction standards. Implementation of the
present invention takes place in association with one or more computer
devices that are used in a system to manage data in compliance with
regulated privacy, security, and electronic transaction standards. In one
implementation, the system includes a single point of entry for external
and/or internal requests, and/or a single point of exit for transmissions
of information, wherein the transmissions include individually
identifiable patient information to legitimate patient-approved requests.
Implementation of the present invention further embraces the
de-identification of information that may be selectively used and/or sold.
The de-identification prevents the identification of patients
corresponding to the medical information, thus allowing the information to
be useful while still preserving professional confidences. Moreover,
implementation of the present invention embraces fully digital
authorizations and consents for retrieval from external data sources.
