摘要

Certain aspects of a method and system for pre-fetching relevant imaging information from multiple healthcare organizations is disclosed. Aspects of one method may include querying data associated with one or more patients from a shared document registry. The method includes receiving manifests of imaging data associated with one or more patients from a shared document repository based on the queried data. The method also includes pre-fetching imaging data associated with one or more patients from a shared imaging data repository based on the received manifests of the imaging data. The method further includes storing the pre-fetched imaging data in an image storage repository within a picture archiving and communication system (PACS). The stored imaging data may be accessed by a user via one or more PACS work stations.
