“DICOM Grid, today announced the release of AccessMyImages.com, a Personal Health Record (PHR) for medical imaging. This allows the patient to have control of their diagnostic images and reports through a secure web application and eliminates the time and costs associated with generating imaging CDs or film.
Patients who have to access resources at multiple healthcare facilities can easily participate in their care, without concerns over transporting CDs or film. This enables better continuity of care at a lower cost for hospitals and healthcare chains.

The purpose of this article is to describe a system we developed for importing images on compact discs (CDs) from external imaging departments into our clinical image viewing system, and to report on key metrics regarding veracity of information seen on the CDs. We recommend careful attention to the process of CD importation because of the error rate we have seen. We developed a system and process for importing images on CD into our EMR. The importation system scans the CD for digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images, and collects all patient information seen.

“This is cool and makes me think of what my mother as a senior has gone through with 2nd opinions and so on. She has literally had to enlist the help of friends to pick up images and take them in hand to various doctor’s offices. Yes that is a pain and having HealthVault at a storage point is great.

“As previously mentioned, one use of the iPad in the OR is to bring patient imaging studies to surgery. But, how does one copy computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images from a patient’s CD ROM to the iPad? I have found a very useful method involving two terrific and freely available resources; OsiriX and Dropbox.

“Today, at its fourth-quarter board meeting, the Open Health Tools (OHT) Foundation approved a new project in principle for the development of server-based technology designed to create interoperability among disparate health information systems.
This technology is required to build standards-based Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). The project is expected to dramatically drive down the cost of interoperability components which have contributed to significant cost barriers for the HIEs in their development of standards-based solutions.”
