Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:
- Understand the basic knowledge necessary to initiate
the implementation of PACS for most clinical specialties.
- Understand the importance of open standards, e.g. HL7,
DICOM, etc., in the implementation of the digital healthcare environment
as well as for electronic medical record.
- Explain why a Healthcare Enterprise Archive (HEA) is
preferred to isolated islands of stored information for each clinical
application so you can optimize productivity, patient care and
ROI.
- Provide an overview of the modalities, databases and
workflow for clinical applications so information technology, administrators
and other healthcare personnel in the HE understand the requirements
to implement PACS and the HEA.
- Explain the impact the digital information environment
has on workflow and productivity and why significant changes are
required in the workplace environment and personal behavior to
maximize the benefits of the transition from analog to digital.
- Explain the essential security requirements for the
Digital Healthcare Enterprise (DHE).
- Explain the importance of DICOM GPWL and single log-on
across the HE for a truly productive and integrated HE.
