METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANONYMIZED DISPLAY AND DATA EXPORT

摘要

In an embodiment of the present invention, users with the appropriate permission can launch a function inside a system in order to anonymize and export the currently loaded study or studies, or one or more studies identified by a search criteria. The data from the studies that were identified is then anonymized on the system. In an embodiment of the present invention, the data from selected studies is anonymized on a server, and only then transmitted to another network device. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the data from selected studies is anonymized on a server, and only then stored to a hard disk or other media.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
a) providing a host computer with a first memory on which is stored a plurality of medical diagnostic reports; b) the host computer receiving a patient ID from a remote computer, where the patient ID identifies a patient at one or more institutions, where the remote computer includes a graphics processing unit and a second memory; c) the host computer locating in the first memory a medical diagnostic report based on the patient ID, where the medical diagnostic report includes an image and one or more phi of metadata containing protected health information; d) the host computer adding an institution aware ID to the one or more phi of metadata to generate one or more combined values; e) the host computer concatenating the one or more combined values with a separator character to generate one or more concatenated values; f) the host computer computing one or more secure values from the one or more concatenated values, where the one or more secure values are substituted for the one or more phi of metadata thereby producing an anonymized medical diagnostic report; and g) sending the anonymized medical diagnostic report to the remote computer, where the remote computer stores the anonymized medical diagnostic report in the second memory, where display of the image stored in the second memory displays the anonymized medical diagnostic report.
