Informatics and innovations sessions at ACR 2015™ can help radiology professionals overcome information technology (IT) challenges and support enterprise imaging initiatives as medicine moves from volume to value-based care. Early bird registration and abstract submission deadlines are approaching for ACR 2015™, the all-new American College of Radiology (ACR) annual meeting, May 17–21, 2015, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC. 

Informatics and Innovations is one of nine Knowledge Pathways at ACR 2015. Key sessions include:

“Some of the world’s best health IT experts will deliver ACR 2015 informatics and innovations content. The sessions provide attendees with skills and information to ease image sharing, support enterprise imaging and demonstrate value as we move toward an Imaging 3.0™ care model,” said Keith Dreyer, DO, PhD, FACR, chair of the ACR Commission on Informatics.

The deadline to submit abstracts for ACR 2015 is Jan. 9, 2015. 

ACR 2015 abstract submission is open to trainees, young physicians, radiologists, medical physicists, radiation oncologists and other professionals.
