1. A computer implemented method comprising: generating a data pool to receive and publish data that includes ultrasound echo data, wherein generating the data pool is performed by a microprocessor of the computer executing instructions stored in a non-transitory computer memory and comprises: receiving ultrasound echo data from one or more medical devices; securing the ultrasound echo data with a conditional access mechanism to provide a secure item; adding metadata to the secure item that includes metadata identifying characteristics of a patient; publishing the secure item and the metadata in a syndicated data feed using the microprocessor of a computer executing instructions stored in a non-transitory computer memory; subscribing to the syndicated data feed; storing the syndicated data feed in the data pool, wherein the format of the syndicated data feed is selected from the group consisting of: Really Simple Syndication, Resource Description Framework Site Summary, Rich Site Summary and Outline Processor Markup Language; extracting data related to an abnormality of the ultrasound echo data from the syndicated data feed; comparing the extracted data related to the abnormality with comparable ultrasound echo data from a normal specimen; extracting data related to adverse patient outcomes from the syndicated data feed; and correlating adverse patient outcomes with the abnormality of the ultrasound echo data.
