AUTO-DISTRIBUTION OF SCANNED DIGITAL IMAGES BASED ON STANDARDIZED IDENTIFIERS

摘要

A system and methods for facilitating the automatic distribution of acquired images within a medical facility (200). Means for displaying (260) digital images within two or more operatories (e.g., 210) is provided. Means for scanning (250) scannable image media (e.g., 120) is also provided, to read an encoded identifier and a captured image from each of the scannable image media (e.g., 120). The encoded identifier of any given scannable image medium (e.g., 120) is associated with one operatory (e.g., 210) of the medical facility (200). Means for transmitting (330) a read image to the means for displaying (26) digital images within a particular operatory (e.g., 210) in dependence on the read associated identifier is further provided.
