Abstract
The disclosure herein provides methods, systems, and devices for managing, transferring, modifying, converting and/or tracking medical files and/or medical system messages. In certain embodiments, the foregoing may generally be based on requesting medical files at a first medical facility, identifying the requested medical files at a second medical facility, initiating a secure network connection between the first and second medical facility, modifying a header portion of the medical files based on patient identification information created by the first medical facility, and other processing steps.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for controlling a permission-based workflow process for transferring medical files from a source medical facility to a destination medical facility, the method comprising:
- under control of one or more configured computer systems,
- reviewing a request to transfer at least one medical file from the source medical facility to the destination medical facility, wherein the request further comprises criteria for the at least one medical file;
- locating medical files in a database accessible by the source medical facility that possibly satisfies the criteria, wherein the database includes at least one of a picture archiving and communication system, an image server database, a radiology information system, and a hospital information system;
- causing to display to a film librarian the located medical files that possibly satisfies the criteria;
- receiving from the film librarian a selection of at least one of the located medical files;
- and
- sending an approval to a main server system to approve the transfer of the at least one selected medical file,
- wherein the sending causes transferring of the at least one selected medical file from the source medical facility to the destination medical facility.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed perform a method, the method comprising:
- reviewing a request to transfer an electronic medical file from a source computing system to a destination computing system, the request including criteria associated with the electronic medical file;
- locating electronic medical files in a database accessible by the source computing system that possibly satisfies the criteria, wherein the database includes electronic medical files;
- causing display of the located electronic medical files that possibly satisfy the criteria;
- receiving a selection of at least one of the located electronic medical files;
- and
- sending an approval to a main server system to approve the transfer of the selected electronic medical file,
- wherein the sending the approval causes transfer of the selected electronic medical file from the source computing system to the destination computing system.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more computing devices programmed to:
- locate medical files in a database accessible by a source computing system that satisfy criteria associated with a requested medical file;
- cause at least a portion of the located medical files that satisfy the criteria to be displayed;
- receive a selection of at least one of the located medical files;
- and
- send an approval to a server system to approve transfer of the selected at least one medical file from the source computing system to a destination computing system.
