The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for monitoring confidential information in a medical records system. The monitoring may occur when the data is transferred in the medical records system, such as inputting data into the medical records system, outputting data from the medical records system, displaying data on the medical records system, or saving data in the medical records system. The method and system for monitoring confidential information may extract a portion of data transferred, compare the portion of data with a predetermined sequence in a database, determine whether the portion of data comprises patient information based on the comparison, and modify the portion of data if it comprises patient information. Extracting a portion of data may comprise parsing the data or may comprise reading a structured form. Further, comparing the portion of data with a predetermined sequence may comprise comparing the portion of data with a predetermined format. Alternatively, comparing the portion of data the portion of data with a predetermined sequence in a database and determining whether the portion of data comprises patient information may comprise using rules (such as an expert system) to specify a sequence of characters that includes patient information. Moreover, modifying the portion of data if it comprises patient information may comprise manual or automatic modification.

The preferred embodiments described herein provide a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system and method for transferring ultrasound examination data to a portable computing device. In one preferred embodiment, ultrasound examination data is transferred from a medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging system to a portable computing device, such as a personal digital assistant. The ultrasound examination data can be viewed on the portable computing device or further transferred to a review station or another portable computing device for review. In some preferred embodiments, the examination data is converted from a form readable by the ultrasound system to a form readable by the portable computing device or review station. The ultrasound examination data can be transferred using a wired connection or using wireless technology, such an infrared communications link. The preferred embodiments can also be used with other medical acquisition devices and medical examination data.
