1. A method for controlling access to a data network with a medical data source and a plurality of end points engaged in data exchange with the data source, comprising:

  • interfacing with a user at an end point of the data network including receiving a user log-in at the end point from which the end point is able to determine an end point user identification of the user at the end point and log the user into the end point;

    receiving a request at the end point from the user for data exchange of medical data with the data source which is arranged for granting authorization for medical data exchange based on a data source user identification;

    transmitting the request for medical data exchange from the end point to the data source including transmitting an end point identifier of the end point and without transmitting the end point user identification;

    assigning properties of a non-interactive data source user identification to the end point identifier;

    treating the end point identifier as data source user identification by the data source; and

    granting authorizations for medical data exchange between the end point and the data source corresponding to the end point identifier.
