A computer-implemented method for generating a portable computer-readable medium containing medical data for a first patient, wherein the medical data for the first patient are audited based on a plurality of audit records stored in an audit database, comprising:

receiving, via a computer-implemented interface from a requester, one or more requests for production of stored medical data related to the first patient;
and
for each request for production of stored medical data related to the first patient:
producing the portable computer-readable medium containing the requested medical data related to the first patient, wherein the requested medical data comprises medical image data formatted in a standard medical imaging format used by a computer configured for viewing the medical image data;
and
upon producing the computer-readable medium, automatically transmitting, to the audit database, audit data that is specific to the computer-readable medium produced in response to the request for stored medical data, wherein the audit data comprises at least an identification specific to the computer-readable medium, an identification of the requester of the stored medical data, and an identification of the first patient, wherein the audit data is for at least one audit record in the plurality of audit records in the audit database.
