The annual Dwyer Lectureship features a SIIM fellow as the presenter of a particularly relevant and insightful topic. This year Paul J. Chang, MD, FSIIM, Vice Chairman of Radiology Informatics and Medical Director of Pathology Informatics at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine will present the 2010 Dwyer lecture.
The Role of Imaging Informatics in the Next Generation of EMR/EHR
Despite the uncertainties with respect to the future of health care delivery, one thing is clear: information technology will play a critical role. However, existing EMR/EHR models are probably inadequate to address current and near future requirements. The lessons learned and approaches validated in imaging informatics can contribute greatly in the design of more optimal EMR/EHR approaches. The 2nd Annual Dwyer Lecture focuses on the opportunities for imaging informatics in this new reality.
