You're gonna need your MRIs on the network cuz they transmit the actual PHI via PACS. No way the operator is copying a 5GB+ dicom file to your record in your EMR manually. You NEED to have the patient name added via modality worklists to reduce errors (ie. add the pt to the MRI software before the scan, and send the scan to the EMR once it's taken). The worst thing is, this protocol is old and insecure. They just don't have the IT chops at hospitals to handle this.
