METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRE-FETCHING RELEVANT IMAGING INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS

摘要

Certain aspects of a method and system (130, 202) 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 (304). The method includes receiving manifests of imaging data associated with one or more patients from a shared document repository based on the queried data (306, 308). 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 (310, 312). The method further includes storing the pre-fetched imaging data in an image storage repository within a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) (314). The stored imaging data may be accessed by a user via one or more PACS work stations (140, 210).
