We are getting ready to implement the use of a camera to photograph images of wounds, rashes, etc. My question is regarding how other practices are storing these images. Has anyone purchased additional storage, external to the EMR database to store these? Is that even possible? How are you calculating your anticipated storage needs?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, We do this by storing the images on a file server. You can then right click the office visit and add it as an ext attachment.

If you're developing a solution check out the FILESTREAM data type in SQL Server. It gives you the appearance of storing files in the database but offloads them to the file system in the background.

before we had PACS we used to store our ultrasound images on the EMR. We would use A-PDF to convert them into PDF files and then use the Kryptiq document manager to point them into the patient's chart. It was a bit time consuming but it got the job done.

Have you considered using ConnectIQ indexing (if you already have that in place?) I think we talked about doing something similar but being a data warehouse is a substantial commitment if you are going to do it.
