A lot of progress has been made to centralizing diagnostic images. In Ontario, the deployment of the Diagnostic Imaging repository is 100% complete.
All hospitals within the province are able to transfer medical images to the central repository.
Further work is planned to expand the repository by accepting images from smaller facilities and IHFs (Independent Health Facilities) [1] .
Currently, only about 10% of IHF are connected to a DI-r.
This results in segmented and silo-ed patient data; incomplete patient history/longitudinal record, increased exposure to radiation due to duplication of imaging exams, increased patient frustration and delays.
