While PACS hasn't often been very prominent in the educational program at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference, interest in cloud computing appears to be drawing renewed attention to image management topics.
In a webinar held by HIMSS on cloud computing, Lisa Gallagher, HIMSS senior director of privacy and security, included PACS-related sessions on her list of recommended cloud computing presentations at the upcoming 2012 meeting in Las Vegas.
Of the six cloud-computing sessions highlighted by Gallagher, three were related to PACS:
- Taking Medical Imaging Into the Cloud -- Wednesday, February 22; 8:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m.; Room Titian 2203
- Quality Care Transforms Through Pioneering Cloud-based Image Exchange -- Friday, February 24; 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.; Room Lando 4306
