Abstract: A system and method for beginning an exam procedure in multiple modality systems during the performance of a physiology procedure. Upon the initiation of a physiology procedure in a physiology workstation, the physiology workstation automatically generates an exam notification message to each modality system required during the performance of the physiology procedure. Upon receiving the start exam notification message, each modality system automatically generates a patient information query back to the physiology workstation requesting patient information and exam information. The physiology workstation returns identical patient information and exam information to each of the modality systems, thereby ensuring that each of the modality systems is operating utilizing the same patient information and exam information.
