System for remote review of clinical data over a vulnerable system
First Claim
1. A system for communicating a medical record of a patient, comprising:
- a medical data system configured to collect medical data;
a console comprising a processor coupled to a network;
a mobile device; and
a server coupled to the network,wherein the console further comprises a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the console processor, cause the console processor to perform a method comprising;
receiving medical data and a diagnostic image from the medical data system;
accessing the medical record of the patient;
receiving an operator input selecting a portion of the medical record and the diagnostic image for transmission to the mobile device;
separating the selected portion of the medical record and the diagnostic image into a plurality of layers including a demographic layer comprising demographic information selected from the medical record and a data layer comprising medical data and the selected first portion of the diagnostic image;
encrypting the demographic layer using a first encryption key;
encrypting the data layer using a second encryption key, wherein the second encryption key is different from the first encryption key; and
sending the encrypted demographic layer and data layer to the server,wherein the server is capable of decrypting one of the encrypted demographic layer or the encrypted data layer but not both, andwherein the server comprises a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the server processor, cause the server processor to perform a method comprising;
decrypting the data layer;
performing an operation on the data layer comprising selecting a second portion of the diagnostic image;
re-encrypting the data layer; and
sending the encrypted demographic layer and re-encrypted data layer to the mobile device via a wireless network.

Abstract
A system for remotely reviewing medical data allows medical data to be transmitted over a vulnerable network to a physician'"'"'s mobile device. The system includes a console, a data server and mobile devices. The system may include medical imaging equipment, medical records databases, and other sensors. Medical data is routed through the console to the data server to reach the mobile device via a wireless network. Patient'"'"'s medical file may be separated into a demographics layer and a data layer, and separately encrypted using different encryption keys for the demographic layer and the data layer. Servers in the communication and processing system are provided with a decryption key for the layer processed by such server. Physicians may transmit comments to the requestor through the same system. A resident messaging system may notify users of messages or data awaiting review along with the urgency of the required review are also described.
