The delay in transfer of imaging studies when a patient moves between hospitals and between public and private systems has been a barrier to expedient and safe patient management. There is also suboptimal reporting when patients have serial imaging undertaken partly in the private sector and partly in the public sector, because of inability to access previous imaging for comparison. Availability of a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) server enables sharing of health information, including imaging data, across various sites and jurisdictions. In Perth, Western Australia, we have successfully introduced electronic image transfer between five public teaching hospitals and three large private practices with different picture archiving and communication systems.
当患者在医院之间以及在公立和私立系统之间转移时，影像学研究的延迟一直是影响患者及时、安全管理的障碍。当患者在私营部门和公共部门部分进行连续影像学检查时，由于无法获取以前的影像学检查进行比较，也会导致报告结果不理想。DICOM（医学数字成像和通信）服务器的可用性使得在不同地点和司法管辖区之间共享健康信息，包括影像学数据。在西澳大利亚州珀斯，我们已经成功地在五所公立教学医院和三家拥有不同影像归档和通信系统的大型私人诊所之间实现了电子图像传输。
