(I am *so* sorry about the duplicate post with a *bogus* e-mail address. I am just beginning to use Mozilla as a newsreader and I had configured it with the bogus address until I was certian that it wouldn't give out my address too freely.)
I am developing an application to manage medical documents. I would like a user management system that would allow me to answer this question:
Can this medical worker read the chart of this patient?
An example from the application is an assessment form. I'd like to restrict the read prividges to certian forms to deny a social worker from writing to a nursing assessment. So, rather than choose individual users, I'd like to group them by discipline, location, etc.
Ideally, I'd also be able to group patients as well, so that patients could be grouped by wards, for example.
Does anyone recommend any Open Source or commerical applications? Should I roll my own?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
