In this session, radiology and imaging informatics leaders will discuss the current crossroads for imaging informatics and the context for practicing radiologists and those who work with them. Among the issues to be discussed:

• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on radiology practice
• The emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, and their impact on diagnostics, clinician workflow, and study prioritization
• The ongoing evolution towards enterprise-wide imaging informatics
• What radiologists, radiology departments, and patient care organizations need—and the ongoing dialogue with vendors
• The landscape for the next three to five years in imaging informatics

Patient care and healthcare are ever-evolving. Now more than ever, care teams need to have efficient access to data anytime, anywhere, to deliver the best possible care. Rajiv Leventhal from Healthcare Innovation sits down with Tracy Byers, GM of Enterprise Imaging, and Archie Mayani, VP of Cloud Product Management, both from Change Healthcare. They’ll discuss where Enterprise Imaging is today—and where it is going. From the cutting-edge solutions already available—like AI to accelerate the review of potential brain bleeds from the ED, EHR integration, and cloud-native medical imaging management—to those on the horizon and coming faster than you might think: completely cloud-native SaaS enterprise imaging, AI-managed workflows, and more. 

Join the session and find out how you can begin your imaging transformation today for immediate ROI while building a strategy and finding partners for coming technologies that will offer an even greater benefit for your organization, your providers, and your patients.
 

Business leaders in the imaging informatics space will share their perspectives on a variety of phenomena impacting imaging informatics in the present and near future, among them:

• The impact of the consolidation of hospitals into IDNs on IT operations around imaging informatics
• The impact of enterprise imaging on IT operations and the role of IT in interoperability
• The impact of the consolidation of service lines on IT departments, including on the on centralization of PACS, dose management semantic interoperability, etc.
• Cloud-hosting and its implications for health IT
• The evolution of artificial intelligence to help manage AI apps across the IDN
• AI image quality standards
• The ongoing evolution of the vendor marketplace in relation to the needs of imaging informatics

What will radiology practice look like going forward, and how are radiologists adjusting to the winds of change? Among the subjects to be discussed:

• How are the acceleration of the business consolidation of radiology practices, and the acceleration of the teleradiology phenomenon, impacting radiology practice, for practicing radiologists?
• What will radiology practice look like five years from now, for radiologists and for all stakeholders?
• The intensifying pressures around productivity and responsiveness, on radiologists—how will those play out?
• What will the landscape of radiology practice look like five years from now?
• What can radiologists expect from practice five years from now?
• What should the leaders of patient care organizations know about how radiologists will work, and what they need to be supported, going forward?
