Patients can successfully pull their medical images from the"cloud" making it faster for them to distribute them to theirphysicians regardless of where those physicians might be, accordingto a preliminary report of an image share project that involvesfive different academic institutions. The image share project includes the University of California, SanFrancisco, University of Chicago, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, theUniversity of Maryland in Baltimore, and the Mount Sinai MedicalCenter in New York, NY. "The patient can arrange with their radiologists' office to havetheir images and the radiology reports exported into anInternet-based personal health record (PHR)," said David Mendelson,MD, principal investigator of the image share project. Once theinformation is in the personal health record, the patient has fullcontrol over distribution of the images and reports. Images can beviewed immediately online by signing into one's PHR.
In addition,e-mail links can be sent to physicians allowing them to view anddownload the images and reports as needed, said Dr. Mendelson. Patient's like this because they "own" the exam, said Dr.Mendelson. Physicians like this because they have anytime, anywhereaccess to images and reports, he said.
A real benefit to everyoneis that quick and easy access to the images and reports could"encourage appropriate utilization of imaging services and diminishthe unnecessary radiation exposure secondary to the duplication ofrecent examinations because those previous examinations are noteasily available to providers," Dr. Mendelson said. Security and confidentiality are high priorities and the imageshare project has instituted safeguards to ensure both, said Dr.Mendelson. One of the biggest challenges that the project has hadto overcome is ensuring that local HIPAA issues are addressed, hesaid.
This is the first phase of the project; in phase two, patients willbe allowed to share their images without the images first beinguploaded to an Internet based personal health record. This isparticularly useful in the event of severe acute trauma, withtransfer to a trauma center. In phase three, the data will bede-identified and then made available for clinical trials, Dr.Mendelson said. Additional References Citations.
