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.

Slide 4 “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.

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

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.

Slide 40 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

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
