Abstract
A patient information management method having a configuration described below is provided that makes it possible to provide efficiently patient information to an appropriate partner while maintaining the secret thereof. In a storage management device, patient information is encrypted so that it can be decrypted when both patient ID information and a password decided by a patient are used. The encrypted patient information is stored in a storage device. The storage management device issues a use request to the storage device to receive encrypted patient information, and uses patient ID information and a password to decrypt it for use.
