When the relay server receives the hospital ID and the medical institution authentication information from the providing medical institution after transmitting the authentication information, the relay server checks the request information corresponding to the providing medical institution from the previously stored request information list using the received hospital ID and the medical institution authentication information. (S540, S550).

Here, the relay server may check the request information corresponding to the providing medical institution by using the hospital ID received from the providing medical institution and the hospital ID included in the request information.

When the request information corresponding to the providing medical institution is confirmed, the relay server performs authentication on the correspondence relationship between the confirmed request information and the providing medical institution, and determines whether the corresponding authentication is successful (S560, S570).

Here, the relay server provides the request information and the request information confirmed using the medical institution authentication information (K) received from the providing medical institution and the patient authentication information (K ') included in the confirmed request information, and further, the system authentication information (K "). The correspondence of medical institutions can be certified.

As a result of the determination in step S570, when the corresponding relationship between the confirmed request information and the providing medical institution is successfully authenticated, the relay server receives and stores the medical information of the patient corresponding to the confirmed request information from the providing medical institution (S580).

The medical information of the patient received by the relay server is in a state in which personal information is removed to prevent leakage of personal information, and may be encrypted information.

Therefore, the relay server decrypts and stores the encrypted patient medical information.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a further operation of the medical information relay method shown in FIG. 5, and illustrates an operation flowchart of a relationship with a second client terminal.

Referring to FIG. 6, when a relay server receives a medical information request for requesting medical information of a patient from a receiving medical institution (hospital B) after transmitting authentication information, request information corresponding to the received medical information request and received request information are received. The patient authentication process is performed using the patient authentication information generated in step S520 associated with (S610 and S620).

Here, the relay server performs a patient authentication process using the input information corresponding to the patient authentication information and the generated patient authentication information included in the request information, and the input information is received by the patient authentication information transmitted to the terminal of the patient. Refers to the input through the institution.

If the patient authentication of the request information is successful in step S620, the relay server stores the request information in the request information list and retrieves medical information corresponding to the request information from at least one or more previously stored medical information (S630 and S640). .

The relay server may search for medical information corresponding to the request information by using the identification information included in the request information and the identification information included in the medical information and the system authentication information.

If the medical information is retrieved in step S640, the relay server permits transmission of the medical information to the receiving medical institution so that the receiving medical institution can receive the medical information of the retrieved patient when the medical information is requested by the receiving medical institution. (S660).

The first client terminal checks the request information corresponding to the providing medical institution from the request information list stored in the relay server using the hospital ID of the providing medical institution and the received medical institution authentication information (S720).

In operation S730, the first client terminal receives and confirms an authentication result of a corresponding relationship between the request information confirmed from the relay server and the providing medical institution.

The first client terminal receives and stores the medical information of the patient corresponding to the confirmed request information from the providing medical institution, when it is determined that the corresponding relationship with the confirmed request information is verified as the result of step S730 (S750).

On the other hand, if the request information for which authentication is successful is confirmed as the result of step S730, the first client terminal performs steps S720 and S740 again.

The first client terminal removes the personal information from the stored medical information of the patient, adds the medical institution authentication information to the medical information of the patient from which the personal information has been removed, and encrypts the transmitted information to the relay server (S760 to S780).

Although FIG. 7 illustrates that the first client terminal removes personal information, adds medical institution authentication information, and encrypts when storing and transmitting the medical information of the patient, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the medical information of the patient is received from the providing medical institution, the first client terminal removes the personal information from the received medical information of the patient and adds the medical institution authentication information to the medical information of the patient from which the personal information has been removed. You can encrypt it and store it. In addition, when the medical information of the patient is received from the providing medical institution, the first client terminal removes the personal information from the received medical information of the patient, and adds and stores the medical institution authentication information to the medical information of the patient from which the personal information has been removed. It can also be encrypted during transmission. Of course, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various other methods can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the request information for requesting the medical information of the patient is received by the patient through the receiving medical institution, the second client terminal transmits the received request information to the relay server (S810 and S820).

After transmitting the request information to the relay server, the second client terminal receives an input request for patient authentication information for authenticating a patient from the relay server, inputs input information corresponding to the patient authentication information received from the patient, and transmits the received information to the relay server. (S830, S840).

Here, the second client terminal may include the input of the patient authentication information in step S820 to proceed simultaneously.

When the patient authentication process is performed using the request information including the patient authentication information in the relay server, the second client terminal checks the patient authentication result to determine whether the authentication is successful (S850 and S860).

As a result of the determination in step S860, when the patient authentication is successful, the relay server searches for the medical information corresponding to the request information in the medical information previously stored in the relay server at the request of the second client terminal (S870).

Here, the medical information corresponding to the request information may be searched based on the identification information included in the request information, the identification information included in the medical information, and the system authentication information. Of course, this retrieval process may be performed by the second client terminal.

When medical information corresponding to the request information is found as a result of the search in step S870, the second client terminal may receive the medical information retrieved from the relay server and store the medical information, thereby confirming the medical information of the patient stored in the receiving medical institution.
