SIIM joins forces with corporate member and leadership partner AGFA HealthCare to provide the 3rd year of the highly successful SIIM Webinar Series. The 2017 series will aim to give the imaging IT community the opportunity to learn from each other and to share their experiences to improve the delivery of patient care throughout the digital imaging enterprise.
