Want file type for images do you recommend over .tiff?
Yes I know HIPPA pretty decently. That is one of the problems with the current application. No log in and the file names and searches are done by the patient name. I would prefer to switch that to an anonymous record number.
The files being scanned in are 8.5x11 sheets that have printed forms on both sides that a doctor feels out and writes notes on. At the moment there is no standard on that. Also anything sheet of paper that a note may have been written on might be scanned in. It would be nice to be able to add notes via a tablet or workstation. But that can come later on.
Yes I thought about doing https:. The server will be behind a firewall and even if I colo the server than it will still be behind a firewall and a VPN connection would be necessary.

If the scan is black-and-white (1-bit per pixel), and your browser can decode it, I'd investigate TIFF at, say, 150-dpi with CCITT Group 4 compression.
But color JPEG with low-to-medium compression would probably be my choice.
