Learn how a VNA (Vendor-Neutral Archive) solution will migrate Silo’d PACS to an Enterprise Image Archive, enable healthcare institutions to take control of the images and the storage management, and drive a universal clinical viewer.
Without an enterprise imaging plan, healthcare institutions will face a data management problem and costly data migrations. More important, the physicians need a universal way to access and view the images, securely, anywhere and at anytime.
CIO’s Perspective for VNA:
- What is VNA?
- VNA positioning and value proposition as it relates to data management initiatives
- Providing a patient-care centric imaging content record for the EMR
- How VNA can assist in preparing for meaningful use
- Gain a better understanding of the specifications for a Vendor-Neutral (Enterprise) Image Archive
This session has been approved for up to 1.0 continuing education (CE) hour for use in fulfilling the continuing education requirements of the Certified Professional in Healthcare Information & Management Systems (CPHIMS).
