The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM; Leesburg, VA, USA), a professional organization at the forefront of medical imaging and information technologies, has launched its new website.
The new website coincides with the renaming of the society (formerly the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology [SCAR]) and the intention to use the Internet as a much stronger platform to serve its members throughout the year. The website provides valuable content for the entire medical imaging community and serves as a resource for the emerging field of imaging informatics.
The demands of being an imaging informatics professional in healthcare require just-in-time learning on a daily basis, and SIIM is committed to helping meet this challenge. The new website's features that enhance learning opportunities include: the SIIM Expert Hotline, which has been integrated and archived on the site. The Hotline taps into SIIM members' considerable expertise and background in picture archiving communications system (PACS) technology and imaging informatics applications, making hundreds of questions and unbiased expert answers about imaging informatics available for users worldwide to search and browse.
The website also has more podcasts and streaming video of SIIM educational content with improved search function with the capability of performing full-text searches of all content on the website, including PDF files and archives, enhancing access to the growing body of information on imaging informatics.
Communities of Practice on the website that are "learning communities” within SIIM, bound together by shared expertise and enthusiasm. Participants work collaboratively on strategy, innovation, problem solving, development of professional skills, and promotion of best practices.
The site www.siimweb.org is designed to provide knowledge, networking, and learning opportunities for the imaging informatics community 24 hours a day. The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine is geared to the advancement of computer applications and information technology in medical imaging through education and research.
