Abstract: A system for securing patient medical information for communication over a potentially vulnerable system includes separating patient's medical file into a demographics layer and a data layer, separately encrypting the demographic layer and data layer using different encryption keys, and providing servers in a communication and processing system with a decryption key for the layer processed by such server. Medical file data may be separated into more than two layers. Users accessing the system are authenticated using standard techniques. By separately encrypting different parts of a patient medical record, processing and communication of patient medical files by intermediary servers is enabled without risking disclosure of sensitive patient information if such servers are compromised.

Abstract: A method for remotely reviewing medical data allows medical data to be transmitted over a vulnerable network to a physician's mobile device. The method sends data to be transmitted through a console, and a data server to reach the mobile device. The method includes separating patient's medical file into a demographics layer and a data layer, separately encrypting the demographic layer and data layer using different encryption keys, and providing servers in a communication and processing system with a decryption key for the layer processed by such server. Medical file data may be separated into more than two layers. After reviewing the data, physicians may transmit their comments from their mobile device to the requestor by going through the same system. Separately encrypting different parts of a patient medical record enables processing and communication of patient medical files by intermediary servers without risking disclosure of sensitive patient information.

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.

Abstract: A system for remotely reviewing medical data allows medical data to be transmitted to a nurse's mobile handheld device from medical equipment or data storage. The system includes a console, a data server and mobile handheld devices; the data server may be a software component within the console. The system may further include medical imaging equipment, medical records databases, and other sensors and servers. Medical data is routed through the console to the data server to reach the mobile handheld device via a wireless network. After reviewing the data, nurses may transmit their comments from their mobile handheld device to the requester by going through the same system. The data server may further include a resident messaging system that communicates to the mobile handheld device such that the user is notified of messages or data awaiting review along with the urgency of the required review are also described.

Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating a patient medical file having personal demographic information, medical data and a diagnostic image include separating the file into layers including a demographic layer demographic information and a data layer. Medical data may be evaluated using an auto-analysis. The demographic layer may be encrypted with a first encryption key, and the data layer may be encrypted with a second encryption key different from the first. The encrypted demographic and data layers may be sent to a server capable of decrypting one of the layers but not both. The data layer may be decrypted at the server and an operation performed to select a second portion of the diagnostic image. The portion of the processed data layer including the selected second portion of the image may be re-encrypted and the encrypted demographic layer and re-encrypted data layer may be transmitted to a mobile device.
