Slide 2 Session Description

Radiography students may choose to become Certified Imaging Informatics

Professionals (CIIP), also known as PACS Administrators, upon graduating

from our programs. This seminar describes the profession of certified

imaging informatics and the organizations that have an effect on that

profession. Content knowledge sections of the ABII registry are outlined.

There are specific areas in the Radiography program curricula that could be

emphasized to help prepare radiography students who may choose this career

path. This presentation is geared towards educators who are interested in

supporting their students development for additional career opportunities and

to discuss areas that educators can emphasis that will help Radiography

students who wish to move toward a career as a CIIP.

Much of the information referencing the individual organizations discussed

comes directly from that organizations website.

“Imaging informatics touches every aspect of the imaging

chain from image creation and acquisition, to image

distribution and management, to image storage and retrieval,

to image processing, analysis and understanding, to image

visualization and data navigation; to image interpretation,

reporting, and communications.”

“Imaging informatics professionals and scientists specializing

in this evolving field are pioneers involved at the intersection

of information science, imaging technology and healthcare

and require clinical acumen as well as expert understanding of

technology.“

Slide 5

The healthcare professional who orchestrates a complex set of functions to

achieve successful imaging informatics is often called a "picture archiving

and communications system" or "PACS" administrator. These individuals

have a foot in two worlds: clinical healthcare and information technology.

For this reason, the most successful PACS administrators communicate

clearly with highly technical network personnel, while understanding the

diagnostic process of the radiologist. Their role often expands to system

architect, workflow engineer and business analyst.

Slide 8 Supporting healthcare through innovation,

creativity, and discovery

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)

aspires to be the leading healthcare professional organization

representing interests and goals of those who work with and

whose work is affected by the rapidly changing world of

information and imaging technologies.

SIIM seeks to spearhead research, education, and discovery of

innovative solutions and new technologies to improve the

delivery of medical imaging services and the quality and safety

of patient care.

Slide 9 A Vibrant and Open Community

In 2006, the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) announced a

name change to the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)

This name describes the diversity of the Society's members, reflects the expansion

of our research and educational activities, and embraces the dynamic changes in the

healthcare environment.

Imaging informatics components include image processing, image transmission and

display, imaging information management, and decision support systems.

SIIM provides a collegial forum for physicians, administrators, health information

professionals, technologists, scientists, and engineers (individuals who develop and

use information systems for medical imaging.)

• A standard for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in

medical imaging. It includes a file format definition and a network

communications protocol.

• The communication protocol is an application protocol that uses TCP/IP

to communicate between systems. DICOM files can be exchanged

between two entities that are capable of receiving image and patient data

in DICOM format.

• DICOM enables the integration of scanners, servers, workstations,

printers, and network hardware from multiple manufacturers into PACS.

The different devices come with DICOM conformance statements which

clearly state which DICOM classes they support.

Medical Informatics: A Formal

Subspecialty Whose Time Has Come

• unique new subspecialty

• physicians already boarded in virtually any specialty could sit for the

clinical informatics examination.

• physicians to “grandfather” into the specialty via a practice pathway based

on experience, or to qualify by earning a master’s degree program in the field

(those practicing as medical informaticists have until 2018 to grandfather in

through experience and exam-taking)

Healthcare Informatics serves as the leading source of information for

forward-thinking professionals involved in the planning, development, and

implementation of important technological trends that define tomorrow’s

healthcare.

Pioneering concepts are presented and exchanged as important strategic and

information technology issues facing organizations such as hospitals, medical

groups, and integrated health systems are addressed. Members of the

Healthcare Informatics community share a focus on healthcare IT leadership,

vision, and strategy—driving change forward by shaping innovations that

point the way to the future of healthcare.Gregorie July 2015

Slide 44 What can we, as educators of Medical Imaging

Programs, do to support our students who may choose

to advance into the CIIP profession?

.

• Add complete Imaging Studies from all medical imaging modalities into our Advanced Radiology Imaging class so that students can begin to recognize other modalities and protocols.

• Strengthen teaching skills in your communications class. PACS administrators spend a lot of their time educating people who will be using the PACS system.

• Place emphasis on healthcare industry’s business model, specifically HIS, RIS, PACS, and EMR
