I will have to add this in my next Mobile Tagging and Security? (PDF) presentation. Thanks Thomas Amberg for the tip. Last time I visited UnaMesa, I just saw the Service Link project (see below).
The SharedRecords project provides free, secure record stores and sharing tools and web sites.***
UnaMesa in conjunction with Dimagi developed the SharedRecords software as part of the ServiceLink project. UnaMesa operates the SharedRecords website as a public service for storing copies of medical records and other important documents.
Clinics, hospitals, therapy providers, schools, and individuals can use SharedRecords to make sure that their important documents are always safe and available. Unlike other systems, individuals maintain complete control over the ability to share their records. (Unlike other systems, it's also free to use and easy to integrate with existing paper or electronic record-keeping systems.)
Service Link
The Service Link project demonstrated how community service providers can easily share electronic versions of records while maintaining the convenience and security of their existing paperbased processes. Unlike other electronic systems, partner agencies can share individual records on demand without the need to agree on a common format or centralized administration. Developed in collaboration with community clinics and other providers, a Service Link prototype was piloted at a Head Start provider in Fremont, CA. In short, paper forms are scanned and stored digitally, in an encrypted format. They can be shared in two ways:
For more information, see http://wiki.unamesa.org/wiki/ServiceLink
- Electronically, with a system of encryption keys that grant access to one specific document to one specific account holder; or
- Paper based, with a printed receipt that enables the bearer to retrieve and decrypt the preauthorized record at any net worked machine.
As of Jan 2008, a field trial of this technology is being deployed as part of the ServiceLink2 project which is a joint effort of Dimagi and the Community Network Services at Ricoh Innovations.
