Abstract
A system and related techniques provide an integrated platform for privacy management of electronic medical records, encompassing the entire life cycle of privacy management including the capture of patient consents and other privacy status information, request management to receive and filter requests by health insurance companies and others, publishing management and release management of the contents of the electronic medical record. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, various modules and logic may directly access the patient EMR and extract appropriate segments of information called for by validated requests, to publish that information as well as record or log that access history. The invention may thus provide an integrated tool to document compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements. According to embodiments of the invention in another regard, medical information requests and other transactions which were originally made in paper or hard-copy form may likewise be assimilated into the access database, along with release requests which are electronic in nature.
