Enterprise imaging is at an early crossroads. The ability to share medical images meaningfully between entities, or even internally within an entity, is dependent on a common language. Today, we rely on “translators”, such as data value and code “crosswalks”, to establish a common understanding of the information from disparate sources. This approach treats a symptom—the need to translate data from one entity to another—but it does not address the root cause, which is the failure to deploy a universal medical terminology.
Objectives
- Describe the proposed standard series nomenclature.
- Demonstrate how the nomenclature can be applied at different institutions.
- Discuss standard series nomenclature application risks and benefits.
Resources
- The Importance of Body Part Labeling to Enable Enterprise Imaging: A HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community Collaborative White Paper
- Medical Vocabulary Standardization – Anatomical Location
