项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nearly two-thirds of all medical imaging procedures in the United States are performed in physician offices, yet few of these small healthcare providers can afford picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) needed to exchange these images with large hospitals. Without online access to previous imaging tests many procedures are repeated, leading to excessive healthcare costs. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has estimated that these costs doubled between 2000 and 2006, and that imaging currently accounts for over one third of total Medicare payments to office-based cardiologists. To facilitate cross-provider sharing of medical images we propose a strategic partnership between Heart Imaging Technologies, the Johns Hopkins Health System, and Duke University to develop a medical image management system for use by physician offices that interfaces to the National Health Information Network (NHIN), a Federal initiative of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The system we propose will allow multiple small healthcare providers to transmit images over the Internet to a single service provider, and then share these images with other healthcare providers using the NHIN infrastructure. The proposed system is expected to greatly facilitate cross-provider exchange of medical images, thereby reducing repeat testing, reducing healthcare costs, and improving the quality of patient care on a national scale.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国在医师办公室进行的所有医学成像程序中，将近三分之二的医疗成像程序，但是这些小型医疗保健提供者中很少有人能够负担与大型医院交换这些图像所需的图片归档和通信系统（PACS）。如果不在线访问以前的成像测试，则重复许多程序，从而导致过度的医疗费用。政府问责办公室（GAO）估计，这些成本在2000年至2006年之间翻了一番，目前，成像占对基于办公室心脏病学家的医疗保险总付款总额的三分之一。为了促进医学图像的交叉交叉分享，我们提出了心脏成像技术，约翰·霍普金斯卫生系统和杜克大学之间的战略伙伴关系，以开发一种医学图像管理系统，供医师办公室使用，以将国家健康信息网络（NHIN）（NHIN）（NHIN）的联邦协调员办公室（NHIN）接触到国家协调员的联邦协调技术（ONC）。我们建议的系统将允许多个小型医疗保健提供商通过Internet将图像传输到单个服务提供商，然后使用NHIN基础架构与其他医疗保健提供商共享这些图像。预计该拟议的系统将极大地促进交叉提供医学图像的交换，从而减少重复测试，降低医疗保健成本以及在全国范围内提高患者护理的质量。
