## Abstract

In some implementations, the device may include receiving, from a first medical facility, by a first facility application, a request to send a medical document to a second medical facility. In addition, the device may include receiving, from an application server, by the first facility application, mapping rules for the second medical facility. The device may include generating, by the first facility application, a modified medical document based on the mapping rules for the second medical facility and the medical document. Moreover, the device may include sending, by the first facility application, to a second facility application, the modified medical document. Also, the device may include sending, by the second facility application, to the second medical facility, the modified medical document.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for sharing medical documents between medical facilities, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first medical facility, by a first facility application, a request to send a medical document to a second medical facility;
receiving, from an application server, by the first facility application, mapping rules for the second medical facility and a data object related to a patient associated with the medical document;
generating, by the first facility application, a modified medical document based on the mapping rules for the second medical facility, the data object related to the patient, and the medical document;
sending, by the first facility application, to a second facility application, the modified medical document;
sending, by the second facility application, to the second medical facility, the modified medical document; and
receiving, from the second facility application, by the application server, the data object related to a patient associated with the medical document, wherein the data object related to the patient includes information in a DICOM format and from a picture archiving database associated with the second medical facility,
wherein the medical document has a DICOM format including a plurality of tags, and wherein generating the modified medical document includes modifying one or more of the tags of the medical document.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the mapping rules contain parameters for modifying a tag associated with the medical document.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the data object related to the patient includes a patient name, a patient unique ID, a patient date of birth, a patient sex, and a patient address.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further including updating the mapping rules based on an input from a user at an interface generated by the first facility application.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the mapping rules include prefix and/or suffix rules for modifying a tag associated with the medical document.

### Claim 6

A system for sharing medical documents between medical facilities, the system having a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from a first medical facility, by a first facility application, a request to send a medical document to a second medical facility and a third medical facility;
receive, from an application server, by the first facility application, mapping rules for the second medical facility, and a data object related to a patient associated with the medical document;
generate, by the first facility application, a modified medical document based on the mapping rules for the second medical facility, the data object related to the patient, and the medical document;
send, from the first facility application, to a second facility application and a third facility application, the modified medical document;
send, from the second facility application, to the second medical facility, the modified medical document;
send from the third facility application, to the third medical facility, the medical document; and
receive, from the second facility application, by the application server, the data object related to a patient associated with the medical document, wherein the data object related to the patient includes information in a DICOM format and from a picture archiving database associated with the second medical facility,
wherein the medical document has a DICOM format including a plurality of tags, and wherein generating the modified medical document includes modifying one or more of the tags of the medical document.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to store, by the second medical facility, the medical document in a first archiving and communication system.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to store, by the third medical facility, the medical document in a second archiving and communication system.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the first facility application modifies the medical document for the second facility application and the third facility application.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein modifying the medical document is based on patient information related to a patient associated with the medical document.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the patient information includes a patient name, a patient unique ID, a patient date of birth, a patient sex, and a patient address.

### Claim 12

A device for sharing medical documents between medical facilities, the device having a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from a first medical facility, by a first facility application, a request to send a medical document to a second medical facility and a third medical facility;
receive, from an application server, by the first facility application, mapping rules for the second medical facility, and a data object related to a patient associated with the medical document;
generate, by the first facility application, a modified medical document based on the mapping rules for the second medical facility, the data object related to the patient, and the medical document;
send, from the first facility application, to a second facility application and a third facility application, the modified medical document;
send, from the second facility application, to the second medical facility, the modified medical document;
send from the third facility application, to the third medical facility, the medical document; and
receive, from the second facility application, by the application server, the data object related to a patient associated with the medical document, wherein the data object related to the patient includes information in a DICOM format and from a picture archiving database associated with the second medical facility,
wherein the medical document has a DICOM format including a plurality of tags, and wherein generating the modified medical document includes modifying one or more of the tags of the medical document.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The device of claim 12 wherein the mapping rules contain parameters for modifying a tag associated with the medical document.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The device of claim 12, wherein the data object related to the patient includes a patient name, a patient date of birth, a patient sex, and a patient address.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The device of claim 12, further including an interface generated by the first facility application and configured to receive an input from a user for updating the mapping rules.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The device of claim 12, wherein the mapping rules include prefix and/or suffix rules for modifying a tag associated with the medical document.
