SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONSENT MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for use in a computer-based consent management system for allowing controlled data to be interactively shared among operators of said computer-based consent management system, the method comprising:
- storing, by an electronic circuit included in said consent management system operated by a sharing operator, a control data record in a first database that is included in said consent management system, wherein said control data record contains a plurality of control levels, wherein each of said plurality of control levels defines a distinct set of controls that are applied to controlled data and said plurality of control levels are applied based on reference data associated with a subject;
associating, by said electronic circuit, at least one of said plurality of control levels with at least a portion of a subject data record, wherein said subject data record is associated with the subject and is stored in a second database that is in communication with said consent management system, wherein said at least a portion of the subject data record is controlled data that is associated with said at least one of said plurality of control levels based on reference data associated with said controlled data;
receiving, by said electronic circuit, a consent request from a requesting operator requesting access to said controlled data, wherein said consent request includes reference data associated with the requesting operator;
storing in said control database, by said electronic circuit, a control level data set comprising said at least one of said plurality of control levels associated with said controlled data in said subject data record; and
interactively sharing, by said electronic circuit, with the requesting operator, at least a portion of said control level data set based on said one or more control levels associated with the subject, said one or more control levels associated with said controlled data, and said one or more control levels associated with the requesting operator, wherein determination whether to grant the requesting operator access to the controlled data is based on said at least a portion of said control level data set that is interactively shared.

Abstract
A system and method for managing consent for an enterprise to, for example, provide access to controlled data to another enterprise wherein the controlled data can be in the form of subject data records. The system includes a consent management module operative to associate a plurality of control levels with a subject data record and process a consent request requesting access to the controlled data. Access is determined based on the control levels associated with a subject of the controlled data, a requesting operator, and/or the controlled data itself, A control level data set comprising the control levels for use in controlling access to the controlled data and/or subject data records is stored in a database.

13. A federated computer-based consent management system for allowing controlled data to be interactively shared among operators of said computer-based consent management system, the system comprising:
-
a first database, in communication with a first computer based consent management system operated by a sharing operator, for storing a control data record, wherein said control data record contains a plurality of control levels, and wherein each of said plurality of control levels defines a distinct set of controls that are applied to controlled data and said plurality of control levels are applied based reference data associated with a subject; a second database, in communication with first computer based consent management system, for storing a subject data record associated with the subject, wherein at least a portion of the subject data record is controlled data that is associated with at least one of said plurality of control levels based reference data associated with said controlled data; and a processor in communication with a computer readable medium that contains program instructions which, when executed, instruct the processor to; process a consent request, received from a requesting operator operating a second computer based consent management system, requesting access to said controlled data, wherein said consent request includes reference data associated with the requesting operator; store, in said first database, a control level data set comprising said at least one of said plurality of control levels associated with said controlled data in said subject data record; and interactively share, with the requesting operator, at least a portion of said control level data set based on said one or more control levels associated with the subject, said one or more control levels associated with said controlled data, and said one or more control levels associated with the requesting operator, wherein a determination whether to grant the requesting operator access to the controlled data is based on said at least a portion of said control level data set that is interactively shared. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
