Systems and methods for remote viewing of patient images
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating the transmission of data from a facility to a centralized host server for remote viewing from a computer, said system comprising:
- a data acquisition device configured to acquire data;
an uploader device configured to receive said data from said data acquisition device, wherein said uploader device is removably connected to said data acquisition device, said uploader device configured to transmit said data over a network, wherein said network is at least one of a public-packet switched network, Internet and Ethernet;
said centralized host server configured to communicate with a plurality of said uploader devices through said network; and
said computer configured to communicate with said centralized host server,wherein said centralized host server is configured to construct and transmit to said computer a web page.

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.
