This invention comprises DICOM and/or HL7 based methods that enable a healthcare worker equipped with a smartphone with any form of Internet connectivity to securely direct the transfer of medical information from DICOM or HL7 compatible storage sites, including the user's own smartphone, to another DICOM/HL7 or non-DICOM compatible device where the information is wanted and needed. A method for securely transferring DICOM and/or HL7 data, by SMS reference, to another smartphone equipped with the software is also disclosed, as is transferal to non-DICOM or HL7 compliant devices by E-Mail or MMS message. This invention uses standard wireless communications and network protocols to expedite the flow of patient-information between physicians, wherever they are located, and repositories of needed patient information, e.g. PACS or HIS, thus improving healthcare and reducing healthcare costs. Finally, an individual can use this invention to store their Personal Health Record (PHR) on their smartphone and securely transport their PHR in its original DICOM or HL7 format.
