DICOM Share

The DICOM Share feature provides the ability to send any DICOM Study in HealthTrack to an external party, such as the patient or their referring doctor. This feature works by copying the DICOM Study to a HealthTrack Share server and sending a secure link to the nominated recipients, either via an SMS or an email (if configured). The recipient can click the link to open their default internet browser, which will load the study in the HealthTrack DICOM Web Viewer, without the need for any specific software.

Please contact HealthTrack Support to enable this functionality.

  1. From the Clinical Records tab, right-click on the record from the folders on the left-hand side.

  • External Parties: The Quick Search button can be used to select a recipient that isn’t already listed as an Interested Party for the patient.

  • Manually Add: Based on the Sharing Method select at the top of the screen, a mobile number or email address can be manually entered. Each manually added recipient should be separated by a comma, or listed on a new line. Select the + button on the right-hand side to add the entries to the list of recipients.

SMS & Email Templates

A default template for SMS and Email can be configured, which will be sent to recipients along with the DICOM Share link. The templates are located in Admin > Notifications & Messages > Notification Manager and can be modified if needed.
