COURSE DESCRIPTION ▼
Imaging Informatics is an integral part of a career as a Diagnostic Imaging professional. This course aims at providing all the essential skills and knowledge necessary for the successful planning, implementation, and maintenance of a PACS, and other radiology systems. This program also helps begin preparation for students interested in taking the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) exam. Topics include: a practical overview to PACS Administration and Operations, DICOM and HL7, Networking, PACS workflow and Architecture, Image Exchange, and Electronic Health Records (EHR) integration.
PACS in radiology is constantly evolving and new integration challenges are changing the way imaging services are provided. PACS management is a growing challenge for Radiology department personnel and vendors. PACS and Imaging Informatics must accommodate many different workflows including nonradiology needs.
The emergence of the Imaging Informatics profession and the PACS Administrator role is an answer to the complexity of the digital imaging environment. PACS management and healthcare informatics require specific knowledge and skills unique to this technology. This practical knowledge is delivered by experienced healthcare IT professionals who currently practice these concepts
PACS/RIS/HIS systems, their role, architecture, installation, the integration, and the workflow
Implementing and maintaining PACS system
Basic IT, networking, and standards for interoperability
How to use Image Management to assure quality, safety and security in the radiology department, Grayscale Standard Display Function, and Information Life Cycle (ILM)
How to troubleshoot and integrate imaging modalities using DICOM and HL7 standards.
Interoperability, IHE profiles of IT domain related to radiology, such as XDS and XDS-I.
