Confidential Information Management System for Professional Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems fail to provide a comprehensive and secure method for managing and communicating confidential information among various professionals dealing with a person's health, social, and financial well-being, especially during advanced age, incapacity, and death, leading to delayed and potentially conflicting implementations of plans and instructions due to jurisdictional laws and HIPAA privacy concerns.
Innovation Solution
A comprehensive confidential information management and communication system that includes a rules-relationships database, an information database, and an access controller, allowing secure management and timely communication of relevant information among professionals, with analysis and updates based on changing conditions and external rules, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with jurisdictional laws.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If comprehensive information is shared among multiple professionals, then implementation of person's plans is improved, but confidentiality and security are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information access by creating distinct information categories (health, financial, legal, personal) and assigning different access permissions to different professionals based on their role and the person's instructions. Each professional receives only the specific information subsets necessary for their function, enabling comprehensive plan implementation while maintaining confidentiality through granular access control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a centralized confidential information management system as an intermediary between the person and multiple professionals. This intermediary securely stores information, manages access permissions, and distributes appropriate information subsets to authorized professionals, eliminating the need for direct information sharing while enabling coordinated plan implementation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If information is restricted for confidentiality, then security is improved, but timely communication among professionals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring access permissions, information categories, and professional authorizations before any information sharing occurs. The person designates which professionals access which information subsets in advance, and the system pre-establishes secure communication channels, enabling immediate information distribution when needed without compromising confidentiality or causing delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic access control where information permissions can be adjusted in real-time based on changing conditions, professional roles, and the person's instructions. Access permissions are not static but can be modified to grant or revoke specific information subsets as needed, enabling flexible timely communication while maintaining confidentiality through condition-based access rules.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple professionals access information independently, then professional autonomy is improved, but information consistency and coordination deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a universal centralized information management platform that serves multiple professionals simultaneously while maintaining a single source of truth. All professionals access information through the same secure system with role-based permissions, ensuring information consistency across all users while preserving professional autonomy through individualized access controls and independent professional relationships with the person.
