“Year in Review”

SIIM invites meeting participants to attend SIIM’s first “Year in Review” session that will kick off the Annual Meeting and point to what is new and innovative in the field of imaging informatics. The “Year in Review” will include breakthroughs and advances in communication of patient data, 3D and processing of CT and MR, digital radiography, cloud-based storage, and political and business intelligence aspects of health care reform and the role of informatics. Opening session presenters will provide a preview of the sessions within the SIIM 2010 program that feature and address the hot topics of 2010.

Using Dashboards and Business Analytics for Practice Improvement

The “Year in Review” will be immediately followed by an applied learning demonstration entitled “Using Dashboards and Business Analytics for Practice Improvement”. This session will begin with a demonstration of the suboptimal current state of affairs in medical imaging, followed by a wish-list discussion of optimum approaches. This will be followed by live demonstrations by two institutions of how they use business analytics and dashboards to improve quality, safety and efficiency in their radiology departments and medical imaging throughout the health care enterprise. Lesson learned will be shared so that others can begin to implement business analytics at their facility, large or small.
