This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958244 titled 'PATIENT DATA SHARING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a health data management system that obtains a consent key to access a patient's health information, which may be stored in an external system. The system sends a request to access the information, including the consent key, and retrieves the data from the external system upon authorization.
- Health data management system obtains a consent key for accessing patient health information
- Some health information is stored in an external system
- Request sent to access information, including consent key
- Data retrieved from external system upon authorization based on consent key

Measures such as encryption, authentication protocols, and secure communication channels may be implemented to prevent unauthorized access to patient health information.
Original Abstract Submitted
A health data management system may obtain a consent key for accessing health information associated with a patient. The system may determine that at least some of the health information associated with the patient is stored in an external system, different from the health data system. The external system may be, for example, a second health data management system or a secure storage container associated with the patient. The health data system may send a request to access the health information associated with the patient. The access request may include a consent key associated with the patient's consent data. The consent key may be, may include, and/or may indicate the patient's consent data. The health data system may access the health information associated with the patient from the external system (e.g., upon the external system authorizing access based on the consent key).
