SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERFACING A RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM TO A CENTRAL DICTATION SYSTEM

摘要

A software system provides an interface between a radiology information system(16) and a central dictation system (14). The software includes first andsecond application modules which are both in communication with a databasemanagement system (12). Other components of the software system includeprotocole DLL's (dynamic linked libraries) (28) and a communication DLL (26).Each of the software components maintains a separate trace buffer. An eventoccurring in any one of the components triggers a dump of all of the tracebuffers. A server socket object is maintained in existence and placed in anaccept mode when a client socket terminates communication with the serversocket object.
