Abstract:
1. A data management system for patient data, comprising: a picture archival and communication system (PACS) having a functionality code segment and a first user interface code segment; a radiology information system (RIS) having a functionality code segment and a second user interface code segment; a container application having a first user interface layer in communication with the PACS and a second user interface layer in communication with the RIS, wherein the first and second user interface layers are configured to convert the first user interface code segment of the PACS and the second user interface code segment of the RIS to a uniform user interface and communicate patient data between the functionality code segments of the PACS and the RIS, respectively, and the uniform user interface such that the patient data of the functionality code segments of the PACS and the RIS are formatted in a common protocol; and further wherein each of the PACS and the RIS include a workstation configured such that patient data can be communicated between the PACS and RIS workstations through the container application.
