Further, according to one embodiment, the UMIAS maintains a Universal Medical Patient Index, which collects and unifies local electronic patient information, and assigns each patient a particular a universal identifier, which is appended to all incoming medical images and can be used by all facilities to identify information relating to a given patient.
