We distinguish different user groups with different roles. Besides a mandatory administrator, there are two main groups of users: the patient and the study assistant. The study assistant registers the patient in the study context of the INFOPAT project and explains to the patient the functionalities of the patient portal. Patients log in with username and password. After successful authentication, the patient is led to the dashboard of the patient portal. This page gives an overview with information about the person logged in: name, date of birth and the last login. Furthermore, one can see whether new documents were sent to the PEHR since the last login. There is also a link to the medication platform and to the last medication plan if available. To give the patient the possibility to get more information to specific diseases, we integrated links to more information collected by our project partner within the INFOPAT project. From the dashboard, the patient can navigate to all other modules of the patient portal by choosing the respective tab.
The documents page shows all documents within how to call united states the PEHR of the patient with the IHE document metadata. For displaying the document an in place viewer is opened.

Within the consent management module which is based on a model for consent-based privilege management the patient is able to control the access to his record by giving rights to physicians to read his medical record and/or to add data to his medical record. For this purpose he first selects his healthcare provider (e.g. a department in a hospital or a general practitioner) and afterwards document classes or types (e.g. discharge letters) and puts them into a personal healthcare team. Afterwards, professionals related to this team are able to access the documents within the selected document classes or types, in some cases limited to a given validity period.
