摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for intelligently providing consent to access a record in a shared pool of resources.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving an access request for a record; identifying information associated with the record and the access request, including record type, an identity of a requestor, and a purpose associated with the access request; computing an importance measurement for the access request; computing a sensitivity measurement for the access request; computing a relevance measurement for the access request, including determining a mathematical value associated with any previous requests on a same purpose for the record type; and computing a consent recommendation based upon the computed importance measurement, sensitivity measurement, and relevance measurement, and a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is computed reflecting probability of values drawn from a distribution from granted requests and a distribution from declined requests, and employing the threshold value as a factor in the consent recommendation; the consent recommendation for the access request for the record including a decision selected from the group consisting of: granting access to the requested record and denying access to the requested record.
