    Re: Storing images

    ***,

    Good point about the database growing.  There is one feature however, that I'm not sure you are aware of...  HealthFrame actually supports linking to external files (i.e. files that reside in your hard disk and are not a part of the PHR's database). 

    Please take a look at the 'Attachments' help text.  You'll note that by using the 'Related Information' feature and by selecting to link to a URL (Web link) you can link to a file that lives in your hard disk.

    Imagine you have a very large image, that resides on c:\MyMedicalImages\Xray1.jpg, you can then create a link by typing file://c:/MyMedicalImages/Xray1.jpg.

    There are some tradeoff considerations that users make at this point. When you link to files in your hard disk (instead of importing them as attachments into your PHR), you do not have access to them when you make a HealthFrame backup.

    The tradeoff is speed vs. organization of data...
