Transferring Images from the VA to UW PACS
Process for how to transfer images
If transfer only needed within 48 hours, then…

- Complete form 10-5345 – see a sample completed form
- Requires patient or physician signature.
- Non-anonymized images will only be provided if the images will be “assessed as part of clinical decision making,” otherwise anonymized images will be provided. If this is the case, the clinician must indicate this on the request form.
- Non-anonymized CD will be burned and available for pick-up at VA ROI within 48hrs.
- Clinical service walks CD to the UW file room (F2/4), where it is loaded into UW PACS within a few minutes of receipt of CD.
