A computer implemented method of performing at least one document consumer query using a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, said method comprising the steps of: receiving at least one query for at least one clinical documents in a first query language from at least one document consumer; translating the query into a second query language to obtain a translated query; conducting the translated query in at least one database compatible with the second query language by the processor to obtain a first result; and providing the obtained first result to the document consumer. In some embodiments, the first query language is Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) language, or the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) language, and the second language is Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) language.

Systems and methods for processing consumer queries in different languages for clinical documents

A redundant image storage system for archiving an image data file within at least two picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), said system including coupled source and destination PACS networks. The source PACS network stores and transmits the image data file. The destination PACS is associated with a Remote Archive Locations record and a Source PACS Archived flag. The destination PACS network receives the image data file from the source PACS network, stores the image data file and determines whether the image data file should be stored back on the source PACS network and if not then sets the value of the Source PACS Archived flag to be true. The destination PACS network only sends the image data file to the source PACS network for storage if the Source PACS Archived flag is false.
