Abstract
A digital camera containing patient images is connected to an uploader computer and the patient'"'"'s name or history is entered into the uploader computer. The uploader computer then connects to the Internet, connects to the secure host server, uploads the images to the host server and shuts down the Internet connection. After the physician selects a medical facility and the system verifies the physician'"'"'s user I.D. and password, the host server constructs an HTML web page which includes a list of patients whose images were previously uploaded by the medical facility and are available for viewing The physician simply selects the name of a patient and the host server displays the patient information and images on the physician'"'"'s computer. The system is password-protected at all levels and the operator for each medical facility determines who may have access to the medical facility images.
