SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HANDLING THE ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL DATA OVER A NETWORK

摘要

The invention is a central server configured to control the receipt and analysis of patient medical data and patient information. The central server controls access to the patient medical data by an analysis workstation that is responsive to a medical specialist. The analysis workstation analyzes the patient medical data and prepares a medical report associated with the patient medical data. The central server comprises a first communication interface for receiving patient medical data and patient information from a remote computer and for transmitting the medical report associated with the patient medical data to the remote computer. A storage system stores the received patient medical data, patient information, and the associated medical report. A processor is configured to control access to and analysis of the patient medical data by the analysis workstation and the medical specialist and is configured to control access to the medical report. A second communication interface transmits the patient medical data to the analysis workstation and receives the associated medical report from the analysis workstation. The invention is also a method of controlling the acquisition and analysis of patient medical data over a network by a central server from a remote computer operably interconnected by the network with the central server.
