SIIM 2010 Learning Tracks include 8 learning tracks which will take place from June 3 - 6, 2010 at Minneapolis, Minnesota, Minneapolis Convention Center.

Learning Track 1: Practical Imaging Informatics (Thursday, June 3):

All PACS professionals, whether they are experienced CIIPs, physicians, CIOs, and/or RTs, need to share knowledge about common problems encountered in the PACS environment. This track provides a forum for sharing information about practical informatics strategies, analyzing everyday problems, and discussing possible solutions. In addition, there will be a strong focus on new elements of DICOM .

Learning Track 2: Business Analytics (Thursday, June 3):

In today's difficult health care environment, need to do everything can to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of the care you provide for your patients, as well as the work place create for the staff. The use of business analytics (BA), dashboards, and other informatics applications can assist in improving practice in these areas, and accelerate adoption and meaningful use of health care information technologies, which will soon be government mandates.

Learning Track 3: New Tools in Data Management (Thursday, June 3)

The “New Tools” Track has been designed to provide practical tools, advice, and processes to practicing IIPs. This is a must-attend Learning Track for attendees who are looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of implementing and supporting a PACS environment..

Learning Track 4: Advanced Visualization (Friday, June 4)

Advanced Visualization is designed to help attendees set up a lab that functions in a way that is optimal for their situation. For those with a lab, it will help them identify opportunities to improve how they operate and to see where the field is going. Learn the latest in setting up a fully functioning, productive lab.

Learning Track 5: Automated Reporting Systems

Communication has recently received increased attention from users, vendors and regulators. Automated Reporting Systems will address current and new communication methods with an emphasis on using technology to simultaneously streamline workflow, improve patient care, and satisfy oversight requirements.

Learning Track 6: Interoperability & Integration (Friday, June 4)

The interoperability & Integration Track will provide attendees with the latest information about why and how images need to be available at the point of care both within and between health care enterprises. Image integration issues and solutions will be discussed in presentations and panel discussions.

Learning Track 7: Imaging Center PACS (Saturday, June 5)

Imaging Centers comes in a variety of sizes and ownership structures, which can vastly impact the implementation and use of digital maging. The Imaging Center PACS Learning Track will provide attendees with strategies needed to plan, implement, and address the special needs of Imaging Centers. In addition this track will analyze the ever-growing need to maintain the seamless ability to share image data from imaging facilities to hospitals and vice versa.

Learning Track 8: Image-Intensive Specialties (Saturday, June 5)

Imaging informatics has focused on the radiology department, there are several image-intensive specialties outside of radiology negotiating similar issues, such as surgical specialty clinics, cardiology , and veterinary medicine. These specialties have similar hurdles for existing in the digital realm, but each has its own specific workflow and productivity issues. An increasingly important focus of imaging informatics is image utilization outside of PACS . This growing field evaluates image utilization outside of radiology, as well as DICOM and non- DICOM image integration into EMR s, image visualization, and collaboration tools.
