Doctor's United in the Manhattan Borough
DUMB is a group of 3 hospitals and 4 ambulance companies
in lower Manhattan that want to secure and reliably
share patient records between them. This will allow
any number of really cool things:
- Patients can go to any of the above hospitals and
get treated
- Doctors (at hospital) can access Patient record
and direct care of patient (in ambulance)
- Doctors in emergency room can get real-time
vital statistics on patients on their way to the
hospital
Design a system which will allow this exchange of
medical records and treatment orders so that the
confidentiality of the records is protected and
no spurious orders are received by ambulance
personnel.
