Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) is the leading healthcare professional organization for those interested in the current and future use of informatics in medical imaging. The group's focus is on the health IT side of radiology, including PACS, enterprise imaging, artificial intelligence, advanced visualization software, archive storage, teleradiology and interfaces with electronic medical record (EMR) and other hospital-wide IT systems.

First fruits arrive from the HIMSS-SIIM enterprise-imaging workgroup

If enterprise imaging refers to visual clinical data acquired in nearly every corner of a healthcare institution’s realm—meaning not only radiology and cardiology but also pathology, ophthalmology, dermatology and maternal-fetal medicine, just to name a few—then enterprise-imaging governance refers to the people charged with putting all that data together to render it useful for clinical, financial and administrative end users.
