The Rise of Role-Based Access Controls
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP
Last month I visited the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Of course, I graduated from Temple University myself and worked as an admissions clerk in the ER, back in the day.
There I learned that some local hospitals are affiliating in role-based access control (RBAC) electronic networks by controlling which patients, medical providers or health plans have access based on the needs of patients, payors, physicians, or insurers. User, doctor, and patient rights and services are then grouped by name, and access to medical resources is restricted to only those authorized.
The technology was first pioneered and used in London hospitals several years ago.
Example:
For example, when an RBAC network system is used by a hospital, each individual that is allowed access to the hospital’s network would have a pre-defined role (doctor, nurse, lab technician, administrator, patient, etc.).
If someone is defined as having the role of doctor, for example, then that user can access only resources of the healthcare network that the role of doctor has been allowed access to (electronic medical records, for example).
If another user has access as a diabetic patient, then that user cannot access unapproved health services, like OB-GYN. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role is assigned one or more privileges for users in that role.
