Northwestern Medicine’s Transformed Approach to Managing Imaging Data for Research Purposes

This webinar will provide an in-depth exploration of strategies and best practices for managing imaging research data effectively. Attendees will gain insights into improving data access, addressing common interoperability challenges faced by institutions, and maintaining robust data privacy and security while supporting research initiatives. 

The session will also cover approaches to implementing sustainable cost models, including strategies that have significantly increased reimbursement rates, and the essential infrastructure required to support imaging research while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The Research Imaging Request process will be presented as a case study, offering a practical example of these principles in action.
