Patent ID: 7860793

Claim:
A method of facilitating healthcare information exchange via a smart card, comprising: writing a self-executing object in the memory of the healthcare smart card, wherein the self-executing object increases options for legacy systems to access data that the legacy systems are not configured to access; authenticating a first party accessing a healthcare smart card, wherein the healthcare smartcard is a physical device having a patient's medical record stored in the memory of the healthcare smart card; storing a first data object within the self-executing object in the memory of the healthcare smart card having access limited to the first party via a user interface functionality provided by the self-executing object; authenticating a second party accessing the healthcare smart card; and storing a limited object in the memory of the healthcare smart card having access limited to the second party; and receiving the self-executing object as a print to device function by utilizing the smart card as a flash memory device for the legacy systems that are unable to interact with the functionality of the smart card.
