Abstract

A medical information access control apparatus including a first storage that stores information of a first access right and a second access right, a second storage that stores a determination information that determines whether or not a patient is in an emergency medical condition, an accepting unit that accepts an access request to the medical information of the patient, an acquiring unit that acquires a state information of the patient, a determining unit that determines whether or not the patient is in the emergency medical condition, and a controller that performs an access control to the medical information based on the first access right if the determining unit determines that the patient is not in the emergency medical condition and based on the second access right if the determining unit determines that the patient is in the emergency medical condition.

Claims

1. A medical information access control apparatus comprising:

a first storage that stores information of a first access right to medical information of a patient and information of a second access right which has more relaxed limit range than the first access right;

a second storage that stores a determination information that determines whether or not the patient is in an emergency medical condition;

an accepting unit that accepts an access request to the medical information of the patient;

an acquiring unit that acquires a state information which is related to a condition of a patient involved in the medical information requested to be accessed;

a determining unit that determines whether or not the patient involved in the medical information is in the emergency medical condition based on the state information and the determination information; and

a controller that performs an access control to the medical information requested to be accessed based on the first access right if the determining unit determines that the patient involved in the medical information is not in the emergency medical condition, and performs the access control to the medical information requested to be accessed based on the second access right if the determining unit determines that the patient involved in the medical information is in the emergency medical condition.

2. The medical information access control apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the determination information indicates a predetermined place, wherein

the state information indicates the place where the patient involved in the medical information exists, and wherein

if the state information is corresponded to the determination information, the determination determines that the patient involved in the medical information is in the emergency medical condition.

3. The medical information access control apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the determination information indicates a predetermined medical apparatus, wherein

the state information indicates the medical apparatus connected to the patient involved in the medical information, and wherein

if the state information is corresponded to the determination information, the determination determines that the patient involved in the medical information is in the emergency medical condition.

4. The medical information access control apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the first storage stores a plurality of pieces of information of the first access right and the second access right in association with each of health care providers, and wherein

the control performs access control to the medical information requested to be accessed based on the first access right or the second access right associated with each of the health care providers making the access request.

5. The medical information access control apparatus as claimed in claim 1,

wherein when the access request is an access request received from any other terminal than a specific terminal, even if it is determined that the patient involved in the medical information requested to be accessed is in the emergency medical condition, the control does not perform access control based on the second access right and performs access control based on the first access right.

6. A computer readable medium storing a program causing to execute a process for performing a medical information access control, the process comprising:

accepting an access request to a medical information of a patient;

acquiring state information relating to a condition of a patient involved in the medical information receiving the access request;

determining whether or not the patient involved in the medical information is in an emergency medical condition based on the state information and a determination information to determine whether or not the patient is in the emergency medical condition; and

performing access control to the medical information requested to be accessed based on a first access right to the medical information of the patient if it is determined that the patient involved in the medical information is not in the emergency medical condition and performing access control to the medical information requested to be accessed based on a second access right which has a relaxed limit range than the first access right if it is determined that the patient involved in the medical information is in the emergency medical condition.
