A discussion I raised earlier on this Blog (here) is the fact that it would be well feasible to make patients responsible for their own data and remove the data sharing problem from the list of hospital IT. In the US, pilots are running to assess the possibilities of having the patient share his or her own data. One of the pilots is supported by the RSNA and mentioned here.
Check out the story on this topic on Health Imaging:
RSNA: Putting patients in charge of image sharing makes for better care
This blog provides information on conferences and novelties in the area of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII). MII has a broad scope ranging from the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to Advanced Visualization and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). To find new opportunities in healthcare we need to look at informatics solutions in other areas to apply them into the medical field to achieve higher level healthcare at lower costs.
