A medical communications and management system (MCMS) that is operative to compile, store, retrieve and transmit digitized medical information from a variety of medical imaging modalities, as well as digital information such as scanned in images, digital photographs, audio files, and digitized information corresponding to monitored physiological conditions, such as heart rate and the like. The MCMS is further operative to include personal patient identification information, such as retinal scans and fingerprints, and is capable of being archived to thus enable such digitized information to be readily accessed. To that end, it is contemplated that the MCMS of the present invention will be used in connection with an electronic medical record and facilitate compliance with HIPAA.
