How to Manage Patient CDs with MD Logic DICOM Technology?

As MD Logic prepares to attend the 2015 AAOS conference in Las Vegas this month, we are reminded of the vast number of clinics that continue to store their patients CDs (containing the outside images of MRIs and CTs) in boxes. Like most clinics in this country, not all MRI or CT images are generated in the physician’s office. Accessing these images online is preferred but is still the minority when compared to most MRI centers providing the patient with the images on CD. So what options does a clinic have in managing these CDs?

For the most part, patient images stored on CDs in the U.S. are stored in boxes. Storing CDs in boxes is cumbersome, time-consuming and does not meet HIPPA standards in protecting patient health data. To protect health data and eliminate the manual storage of CDs, MD Logic offers a simply and yet powerful app allowing clinics the ability to import these CDs into the MD Logic EHR software. As the cost of hard drive space and data storage continues to decrease, there has never been a better time begin storing these images and eliminating these CDs. MD Logic, the leader in high performance EHR solutions now offers DICOM storage and viewing in the MD Logic EHR software. MD Logic customers now have the opportunity to take a CD provided by a patient and easily store that CD in the patient health record. The MD Logic DICOM app is extremely simple to implement and will enable MD Logic customers to eliminate storing CDs in boxes. A user can simply insert the CD into a PC and then select to store the CD in the MD Logic EHR software. It is fast, simple to use and securely stores the image for each patient.
