Abstract

An example method includes receiving patient information in a cloud-based clinical information system from a first healthcare entity registered with the cloud-based clinical information system as a first entity type of a plurality of hierarchically organized entity types. The example method also includes storing a contractual agreement between the first healthcare entity and a second healthcare entity in the cloud-based clinical information system. The second healthcare entity is registered with the cloud-based clinical information as a second entity type of the plurality of entity types. The example method further includes enabling the second healthcare entity to access the patient information from the cloud-based clinical information system based on first access rules for the second healthcare entity. The first access rules are based on the contractual agreement, the second healthcare entity being the second entity type, and a selection input by the first healthcare entity via the cloud-based clinical information system.
