Course
Description:
This course will address the knowledge gap experienced by many PACS
administrators by introducing and exploring the blend of competencies
required for Imaging Informatics Administration. Two distinct tracks will
be featured to augment clinical knowledge for those with an IT background
and technical skills for RTs and other clinicians. Attendees will learn
about the impact of PACS across the entire medical enterprise. This course
will help explain the framework for future Imaging Informatics
Administration certification.
Each
presentation will direct participants to the following resources to assist
in preparation for future certification:
•
Recommended sessions within SCAR 2006 which are relevant to the topic;
• List of publications dealing with the topic;
• List of applicable websites regarding the topic that will provide
greater detail for study.
Target
Audience:
Individuals who are new to PACS administration, those who want to learn
more about the wide range of competencies and skills required for this
career, those who are interested in becoming PACS administrators, and
individuals who are interested in pursuing professional certification in
the future.
