Examination Information Management System Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing medical image management server is complex and burdensome, particularly in assigning reference levels to medical information, leading to increased input errors and limited access for non-medical treatment personnel, such as technicians and experts, when multiple individuals need to access examination information.
Innovation Solution
An examination information management system that includes a transmission unit and a control unit to manage access to examination information based on user-specific characteristics, allowing users other than those directly involved in medical treatment to access relevant information, simplifying the process and reducing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a reference level is assigned to each piece of medical information and account level is controlled for each user, then access restriction is achieved, but the system becomes complicated and input errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex reference level assignment from each individual information item and consolidates it into a single account level setting per user. Instead of managing multiple reference levels across different information pieces, the system uses one account level that automatically applies to all information, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining access control reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The account level serves as a universal access control mechanism that applies to all medical information items regardless of their type or sensitivity. This single parameter performs the function of multiple reference levels, simplifying the system while ensuring comprehensive access restriction across the entire information management scope
2Reliability
If reference level assignment is implemented for each information item, then access control is achieved, but data input burden increases and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the burden of assigning reference levels to each information item by extracting this function and replacing it with a single account level assignment per user. This eliminates repetitive data input while maintaining access control, as the account level automatically determines access rights for all information items without requiring individual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service access control where the account level automatically determines which information items a user can access, without requiring manual reference level assignment for each item. The system itself manages the mapping between account level and information accessibility, reducing human input burden and potential errors
3Reliability
If account level is controlled only for medical treatment personnel, then security is maintained, but non-medical personnel cannot access necessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The account level system serves multiple user types including both medical treatment personnel and non-medical personnel such as genetic counselors and technicians. The same account level mechanism that secures medical personnel access also appropriately controls access for other roles, making the system versatile while maintaining security through role-appropriate account level assignments

AI summary
The present invention provides an examination information management system capable of easily and appropriately setting an account level in a form suitable for an actual situation of a medical institution, even when a large number of related persons access each piece of examination information. The examination information management system includes: a transmission unit that transmits, to a user terminal used by a user, examination information regarding an examination performed in association with medical treatment and a control unit that controls transmission to the user terminal by the transmission unit, in accordance with a characteristic that is set for the user and is for indicating a range of the examination information accessible by the user. By control according to the characteristic, the control unit enables transmission of the examination information to the user terminal even when the user is a person other than a person in charge of the medical treatment.
