COMPUTERIZED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESTRICTING ACCESS TO PATIENT PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, which is carried out using one or more of a processor and computer-storage media, for allowing restricted access to a patient'"'"'s healthcare information in a computing environment of a healthcare organization, the method comprising:
- storing in the computer-storage media a list of personnel that are assigned to a healthcare location;
assigning by the processor an order to the healthcare location, wherein the order indicates a procedure related to providing healthcare to a patient;
receiving from a user a request to access records of the patient;

Abstract
A computerized system and method for allowing restricted access to patient healthcare information is provided. Upon determining that one or more users are assigned to the location where an order for a patient is to be performed, the method allows one or more users restricted access to the order. The system includes an order entry module, an access evaluation module, a location entry module and a user module. The access evaluation module includes an assignment determination sub-module for determining whether one or more users are assigned to the specified location where an order for a patient is to be performed. The assignment determination module also includes a restricted access sub-module coupled with the assignment determination module and configured to allow restricted access to one or more users assigned to the specified location.

10. A computer system embodied on one or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for allowing restricted access to patient healthcare information, the system comprising:
-
a location-entry module that receives input of a healthcare location to which a user is assigned; an order-entry module that receives input of an order and that assigns the order to the healthcare location; an assignment-determination module that determines that the user is assigned to the healthcare location; and a restricted-access module coupled with the assignment-determination module and configured to allow the user to have restricted access to the order based on the user being assigned to the healthcare location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
