8. A computer-implemented method for transferring and managing medical files at a medical facility to enable teleradiology, the computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of one or more configured computer systems, receiving at a source medical facility notification from at least one of a radiology information system, a hospital information system, a picture archiving and communication system, an image server, and other medical system that a medical file has been at least created or modified; obtaining the medical file from the at least one of the radiology information system, the hospital information system, the picture archiving and communication system, the image server, and the other medical system; analyzing the medical file to determine based on criteria whether to transfer the medical file to a destination medical facility that provides at least one of outsourced radiology film interpretation, analysis, and other medical services; transferring the medical file from the source medical facility to the destination medical facility based on the analyzing. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

21. A computer system comprising:
-
a database to store electronic medical files; one or more computing devices in communication with the database, the one or more computing devices programmed to; receive a first electronic medical file from a first medical facility, the first electronic medical file having a first identifier associated with a patient; store the first electronic medical file in the database; receive a second electronic medical file from a second medical facility, the second electronic medical file having a second identifier associated with the patient, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are different; modify at least one of the first identifier and the second identifier such that the first electronic medical file and the second electronic medical file are both associated with the same identifier; compare the first identifier to the second identifier; and cause the first electronic medical file and the second electronic medical file to be concurrently displayed when the comparison indicates that the first identifier and the second identifier match. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
