eMed Portal
Foreign Exam Management
Eliminate the chaos of CD-based imaging workflows with a centralized, auditable platform for foreign exam intake and reconciliation.
Overview
The eMed Portal is a turnkey software platform purpose-built for managing external imaging studies across hospital networks. When patients arrive with imaging CDs from outside facilities, the Portal provides a structured, trackable workflow — from intake to PACS import to reconciliation.
The foreign exam problem is one of healthcare's most persistent workflow challenges. Patients move between hospitals, clinics, and specialists — but their imaging data doesn't follow them. The result: lost CDs, redundant exams, delayed diagnoses, and frustrated clinicians.
eMed Portal solves this by creating a digital intake pipeline. When an external study arrives — whether by CD, network transfer, or cloud share — the Portal validates the DICOM data, matches it to the correct patient, and routes it into the destination PACS with full traceability.
Unlike generic DICOM tools, eMed Portal was designed specifically for the foreign exam workflow. It understands the nuances: mismatched patient IDs, studies split across multiple CDs, corrupted media, and the need for human review when automated matching fails.
