In the present invention, the user will sign onto a system, utilizing a biometrics authentication or identification procedure. Once authentication and identification takes place, local, regional, and centralized medical databases can be automatically queried using the identification-specific biometrics signature. All data intrinsic to the medical procedure or examination being performed will be automatically tagged and downloaded into that specific patient's electronic medical database. At the same time, that patient's medical database is queried to provide all historical data relevant to the medical examination or procedure being performed to assist with planning, protocol, and analysis of the data being collected. The biometrics authentication can be performed at patient intake, at an imaging device, at a pharmacy, or in the operating room, to ensure that the personnel and the patient are correctly identified before any procedure is performed or drug administered.
