A system for transferring patient identification information and medical images within the records system of a healthcare facility is disclosed. A server within the healthcare facility is configured to automatically receive patient information on a regular basis from the healthcare facility's patient information system and to automatically provide that information to any medical equipment connected to the healthcare facility. The operator of the medical equipment selects the information of a patient undergoing a medical imaging procedure. The resulting medical image is associated with the chosen patient. The server disclosed herein receives the medical image and the patient identification information from the medical equipment, and automatically converts the medical image into a standardized file format. The system automatically transfers the converted medical image and patient identification information to the healthcare facility's medical image storage system, which stores the information.
