Abstract: A system and method for providing or exchanging healthcare information (e.g., medical information) to authorized users in a secure manner. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: assign identification information to a plurality of users and a plurality of items; associate the identification information of a user of the plurality of users with one or more items of the plurality of items; set-up security policies including predetermined locations, within predetermined stages within a sequence and during predetermined times; and provide the user access to the one or more items when there is a matching between the identification information of the user and the one or more items, and all of the security policies associated with the user and the one or more of the plurality of items are met.
