Abstract: A system and methods for organizing, manipulating, and displaying worklists of patient studies for access by medical personnel is provided. The patient studies may include medical images and data relating to medical images. In some embodiments, the worklists are easily customizable, to permit a wide range of tasks to be handled in the worklist system. Updated worklist information may be pushed to the appropriate workstations or users in nearly real-time, as updates become available, reducing errors that may be caused by outdated information in worklists. In some embodiments, worklists contain overlapping information, which permits numerous users to see the information, even if it is not immediately relevant to their tasks. This increased scrutiny may help to reduce errors.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to a method for storing an image or a manifest that references a number of related images in a repository. The method comprises receiving, by an importer, data, generating an identifier associated with the data, the identifier including a substantially random unique identifier, transmitting the data to a repository and transmitting the identifier to a location separate and distinct from the repository and the importer. In one embodiment, the image includes a medical image. In another embodiment, the method further includes encoding the image to a coded image. In another embodiment, the step of requesting the image further comprises requesting the image from the repository using a standards-based protocol, and the step of transmitting the image further comprises transmitting the image file using a proprietary or a standards-based protocol.
