Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for polydynamic integrated healthcare information processing platforms are described.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of identifying patients based on immutable characteristics. For instance, each patient identifier is based on immutable characteristics of the patient who is to be identified by that patient identifier. Examples of an immutable characteristic of a patient include but are not limited to the patient's first name, the patient's last name, the patient's birth date, the patient's birth city, the patient's birth state, the patient's birth country, the patient's mother's maiden name, the patient's gender, etc. For instance, portions of a patient identifier that identifies a patient may be based on respective subsets of immutable characteristics of the patient. Logical operations may be performed with respect to the respective portions of the patient identifier to determine a checksum identifier to facilitate detection of an error with respect to reproduction (e.g., scanning, manually typing, etc.) of the patient identifier.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention includes a system and method for detecting and monitoring confidential and DICOM image traffic on a computing device in a PACS network. Embodiments of the present invention protect patient confidentiality by preventing the simultaneous display of confidential images and patient identification information when measuring and displaying the image data. The system detects and measures the transfer of confidential images and stores and displays information included in only the non-confidential headers of the images. The system monitors and warns (such as via email and/or pagers) PACS administrators of system slowdowns as a result of the data gathered.
