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.
