Hello Everyone -

As Dave mentioned in the post below, the Infoway EI Community is hosting a Webinar on the topic of "Multi-Media Reporting in Radiology".

On Septemeber 25th @ 12pm EST, Dr. Les Folio from NIH will demonstrate the functionality and benefits of multi-media reporting in radiology

Multimedia interactive radiology reporting improves consultation value, quality, and communications with referring clinicians as well as patients. Dr. Folio will share five years of experience with interactive reporting and show radiologist adoption rates from NIH Clinical Center and other facilities.

Hello Enterprise Imaging Community and InfoCentral Community,

I hope everyone has a good summer and are healthy and safe.

Last year, the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community established a working group to advance the state and practice of imaging reporting. This group has defined this state as multimedia interactive content reporting (MMICR). MMICR as “interactive medical documentation that combines clinical images, videos, sound, imaging metadata, and/or image annotations with text, tables, graphs, event timelines, anatomic maps, hyperlinks, and/or educational resources to optimize communication between medical professionals, and between medical professionals and their patients.” This initiative has truly become enterprise wide; we have strong participation from clinical leaders and industry from Radiology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Pathology, Ophthalmology, Endoscopy, Radiation Oncology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community (MMICR) Work Group is near completion of a Journal of Digital Imaging white paper, targeted to be published by year. This working group has also submitted a proposal to the IHE Radiology Domain for a new MMICR Profile.On behalf of the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community MMICR Work Group, Elliot Silver, Kinson Ho and I have submitted a Detailed IHE MMICR Proposal. The IHE Radiology Technical Committee review and provide work effort recommendations and/or next steps for all profile proposals. Technical committee co-chairs will work with the proposal authors to schedule their proposals for evaluation on three scheduled calls:

September 15, 10:00am-12:00pm CT (1 of 3)
September 16, 10:00am-12:00pm CT (2 of 3)
September 21, 10:00am-12:00pm CT (3 of 3 – only if needed)

The Radiology Planning committee will vote on final selection of profiles for development on September 24, 10:00am-12:00pm CT.

Here is a link to IHE Radiology for more information on the Profile Development process and scheduling,

Here is the the link to the Detailed Proposal for a new IHE MMICR Profile:Detailed Proposal IHE MMICR Profile (Sept 8 2020)

We plan to the community on the work on our E.I Community call on Friday Sept 11th at noon. Additionally, our next community Webinar on September 25th, Dr. Les Folio will present "Multi-Media Reporting in Radiology", Dr. Folio is a pioneer on multimedia reporting at the NIH.

We look to "see you all" at these meetings. Regards, David.
