Celebrating 10 Years of the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community and Enterprise Imaging Informatics.

In response to the growing recognition of enterprise imaging as a critical component of healthcare's digital transformation, in 2014, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to form the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community (HSEIC). At the time of the agreement, the two organizations decided to collaborate to lead enterprise imaging development, advancement, and adoption. This paper celebrates the past 10 years of the HSEIC's thought leadership, industry partnerships, and impact while also looking ahead to identify enterprise imaging challenges to solve in the next decade.

Reuniting Long Lost Cousins: a Novel Curriculum in Imaging Informatics for Clinical Informatics Fellows.

We developed a curriculum of imaging informatics for clinical informatics fellows. While imaging informatics and clinical informatics are related fields, they have distinct bodies of knowledge. The aim of this curriculum is to prepare clinical informatics fellows for questions regarding imaging informatics on the clinical informatics board certification examination, prepare fellows to handle issues and requests involving imaging informatics in their future roles as clinical informaticists, and develop sufficient knowledge and skills in order to interface with imaging and radiology domain experts. We mapped ACGME core competencies for clinical informatics and the clinical informatics skills and attributes to topics covered in this curriculum. Topics covered included orders vs. encounter-based workflow, understanding imaging informatics operations and the differences between an IT department leading digital image management and the radiology department, clinical decision support for radiology, procuring and integrating new modalities into a PACS system, troubleshooting slow application performance in a PACS environment, imaging sharing, artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging including AI bias, validation of models within home institution and regulatory issues, and structured reporting vs. Natural Language Processing to mine radiology report data. These topics were covered in interactive didactic sessions as well as a journal club. Future work will expand to include hands-on learning and a formal evaluation of this curriculum with current fellows and recent graduates.

Meaningful Peer Review in Radiology: A Review of Current Practices and Potential Future Directions.

The current practice of peer review within radiology is well developed and widely implemented compared with other medical specialties. However, there are many factors that limit current peer review practices from reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient care. The development of "meaningful peer review" requires a transition away from compliance toward quality improvement, whereby the information and insights gained facilitate education and drive systematic improvements that reduce the frequency and impact of diagnostic error. The next generation of peer review requires significant improvements in IT functionality and integration, enabling features such as anonymization, adjudication by multiple specialists, categorization and analysis of errors, tracking, feedback, and easy export into teaching files and other media that require strong partnerships with vendors. In this article, the authors assess various peer review practices, with focused discussion on current limitations and future needs for meaningful peer review in radiology.
