PACS software developer DR Systems has received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office related to the company's automated selection and forwarding of medical data to secondary locations, such as electronic medical records (EMRs).
The company said that its smart placement module is designed to facilitate the receipt of medical data, such as medical reports and image montages, and forward the data to one or more locations, such as an EMR.
The process is based on smart placement rules established by a user, such as a referring doctor, who receives the medical data.
The module decreases or removes the need for the receiving user to manually select and transfer certain medical data for storage at the EMR system.
