A physician wishes to send a very large file to a consulting physician, including a patient's chart and diagnostic images with reports. Which is the most appropriate method of sending the data?
1. Utilize a file transfer protocol (FTP) program to upload the information to the physician
2. Remove all graphics from the file, send the file via e-mail, and fax the diagnostic images
3. Attach the file to an e-mail and send it, ensuring encryption is utilized
4. Connect to the physician's computer via dialup and transfer the information
1
Rationale: FTP protocol allows the transmission of large files. Files may be too large to send as e-mail attachments, and faxing diagnostic images slows down transmission time (as well as increasing the probability that security may be breached during fax transmission).
