1) Understand the importance of Image Sharing / Exchange with regard to the quality of care a radiologist delivers as well as to efforts to control costs. 2) Understand the benefits and pitfalls of CDs and the transition to internet based sharing. 3) Understand the different internet (Cloud) based solutions that are available and what distinguishes them. 4) Learn that the cloud can be employed not only for archival but for a variety of radiology services. 5) Learn about the IHE XDS-I and related profiles and their role in internet based image exchange. 6) Understand what solutions a radiologist might implement at this time. 7) Understand how image exchange fits into the broader efforts directed at healthcare information exchange and interoperability through EHRs.
The safe and secure exchange of heatlhcare information is of paramount importance in delivering the highest quality of care to our patients. The realm of Health Information Exchange while nascent is undergoing explosive growth. The exchange of radiologic exams and reports must be tightly integrated into this porcess. Radiological images have historically presented some unique challenges. This session will build upon the prior and focus on existing solutons for image exchange and discuss how it is expected to evolve over the next few years.
