Enterprise imaging strategies are priorities at many provider institutions. However, interoperability issues are standing between wish lists and project assignments—and IT leaders in provider organizations are wary about the potential for “unattainable image data” to set back patient care. 

“Creating the Image Enabled Enterprise” was the theme of the 2015 SIIM annual meeting, held May 28–30 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Md.
