SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERFACING A RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM TO A CENTRAL DICTATION SYSTEM

摘要

A software system provides an interface between a radiology information system (16) and a central dictation system (14). The software includes first and second application modules which are both in communication with a database management system (12). Other components of the software system include protocole DLL's (dynamic linked libraries) (28) and a communication DLL (26). Each of the software components maintains a separate trace buffer. An event occurring in any one of the components triggers a dump of all of the trace buffers. A server socket object is maintained in existence and placed in an accept mode when a client socket terminates communication with the server socket object.
