System supporting exchange of medical data and images between different executable applications
First Claim
1. A system for exchanging medical image data between different processing systems, comprising:
- a central repository of configuration information, including entity related information and authorization information, associating a user with an indicator of authorization, to access particular patient medical records, for use by a plurality of different processing systems of corresponding different entities, the repository being used in accessing medical image data repositories of the corresponding different entities and enabling exchange of medical image data between the different entities; and
an interface for, receiving, from a first processing system of a first entity, a user initiated request to access a medical image repository of a second processing system of a second entity, accessing the central repository to retrieve configuration information, and communicating the retrieved configuration information to the first processing system.

Abstract
A system, for exchanging medical image data between different processing systems, includes a central repository and an interface. The central repository stores configuration information including entity related information and authorization information. The authorization information associates a user with an indicator of authorization to access particular patient medical records. Multiple different processing systems of corresponding different entities use the configuration information to access medical image data repositories of the corresponding different entities and to enable exchange of medical image data between the different entities. The interface receives, from a first processing system of a first entity, a user initiated request to access a medical image repository of a second processing system of a second entity. The interface accesses the central repository in retrieving configuration information. The interface communicates the retrieved configuration information to the first processing system.

17. A system for use by a processing system in accessing medical image data stored by a second different processing system, comprising:
a communication interface of a first processing system of a first entity for;
communicating a user initiated request message to access particular medical image data of a particular patient in a repository of a second processing system of a second entity, in response to the communicated request, receiving, from a central repository, configuration information, including entity related information, for use in accessing the particular medical image data of the particular patient in the repository of the second processing system, using the received entity related information in acquiring the medical image data of the particular patient in the repository of the second processing system, and an image data processor for storing the medical image data of the particular patient in a repository of the first processing system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
