– Enterprise Governance – Image Standard Acquisition Workflow – Image Mobile Acquisition Workflow – Image Access & Visualization – Security

Learning Objectives

• Define the term enterprise imaging • State the at least three types of images that should be included in a

clinical imaging library • Describe at least 3 potential challenges of implementing a clinical

imaging library

Question 1

How are organizations typically defining enterprise imaging? Do you see uniformity in the definition across organizations?

Question 2

What are the specific types of imaging that organizations are trying to manage?

Question 3

Are there basic technology considerations that need to be made when developing an enterprise image management strategy? Is a VNA an absolute necessity to have a comprehensive image management strategy?

Question 4

Most organizations have mature and efficient image acquisition workflows within their radiology departments. Why is it difficult to transition these workflows to other image producing service lines?

Question 5

There are two primary categories of point of care image acquisition; orders-based and encounter-based. How do these acquisition workflows differ?

Question 6

Can a single encounters-based acquisition workflow be developed and used by all image producing service lines or does the workflow of each image producing service line need to be considered?

Question 7

What are some of the key considerations when determining how digital photos will be acquired?

Question 8

Are there mobile application solutions for digital photo acquisition available today? What are the security considerations that need to be made?
