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 system comprising:
- a database to store patient identification information;
- and
- one or more computing devices in communication with the database, the one or more computing devices operative to:
- match a first patient identifier associated with a patient in a source medical facility computing system with a second patient identifier associated with the patient in a destination medical facility computing system;
- cause transfer of an electronic medical file associated with the patient from the source medical facility computer system to the destination medical facility computing system via a secure network connection between the source medical facility computing system and the destination medical facility computing system;
- store patient identification information associated with the first patient identifier in the database;
- store patient identification information associated with the second patient identifier in the database;
- cause modification of at least one of the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier such that the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier correspond to each other in the destination medical facility computing system;
- and
- process an additional request for transferring electronic medical files based at least in part on the patient information associated with at least one of the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier obtained from the database.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- matching a first patient identifier associated with a patient in a source medical facility computing system with a second patient identifier associated with the patient in a destination medical facility computing system;
- causing transfer of an electronic medical file associated with the patient from the source medical facility computer system to the destination medical facility computing system via a secure network connection between the source medical facility computing system and the destination medical facility computing system;
- storing patient identification information associated with the first patient identifier in the database;
- storing patient identification information associated with the second patient identifier in the database;
- causing modification of at least one of the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier such that the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier correspond to each other in the destination medical facility computing system;
- and
- processing additional requests for transferring electronic medical files based at least in part on the patient information associated with at least one of the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier obtained from the database.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a database to store patient identification information;
- and
- one or more computing devices in communication with the database, the one or more computing devices operative to:
- match a first patient identifier associated with a patient in a source medical facility computing system with a second patient identifier associated with the patient in a destination medical facility computing system;
- receive, via at least one of a mobile device and a website, an authorization to transfer the electronic medical file;
- in response to receiving the authorization, cause transfer of an electronic medical file associated with the patient from the source medical facility computer system to the destination medical facility computing system via a secure network connection between the source medical facility computing system and the destination medical facility computing system;
- store patient identification information associated with the first patient identifier in the database;
- store patient identification information associated with the second patient identifier in the database;
- and
- cause modification of at least one of the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier such that the first patient identifier and the second patient identifier correspond to each other in the destination medical facility computing system.
