My medical records director would like to hear workflows where patient data is submitted from outside the practice on CD or other digital media. Do you have the physician review the digital data and then advise Medical records what to import into the chart. Do you print the contents of the digital media and have the physician review and determine what should be done with the data. Do you have some other workflow. Any comments will be appreciated.

It depends on content. If they are medical records, we will simply copy or convert the data to a PDF and attach it to the patient chart. The provider will go through it and tell us what they want to keep to which we will go back into the PDF and discard unwanted content. With other items like MRI's etc, the content is too big to be storing or streaming across a network. This, coupled by the discussion around the "if you keep it you are responsible for acting on it" theory has led us to a workflow around the providers reviewing the info, generating any notable data and returning the disk to the patient. Should your intention to be to keep the disks on file, my recommendation would be that you come up with a method of "checking out the disks" and keeping them in secured storage. Additionally users can request the disk and it can be placed in a shared media device and they can view it streaming. If you have a local network this is a viable option for much data. Our servers are co-located across a 30Mbps Metro-E connection so it is a little to sluggish to be practical.

My 2¢ worth
