  ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE. Today in the hospital setting, several functions of the radiology information system (RIS), including order entry, patient registration, report repository, and the physician directory, have moved to enterprise electronic medical records. Some observers might conclude that the RIS is going away. In this article, we contend that because of the maturity of the RIS market compared with other areas of the health care enterprise, radiology has a unique opportunity to innovate. CONCLUSION. While most of the hospital enterprise spends the next several years going through the digital transformation converting from paper to a digital format, radiology can leap ahead in its use of analytics and information technology. This article presents a summary of new RIS functions still maturing and open to innovation in the RIS market.

  ABSTRACT: The Certification for Imaging Informatics Professionals (CIIP) program is sponsored by the Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists through the American Board of Imaging Informatics. In 2005, a survey was conducted of radiologists, technologists, information technology specialists, corporate information officers, and radiology administrators to identify the competencies and skill set that would define a successful PACS administrator. The CIIP examination was created in 2007 in response to the need for an objective way to test for such competencies, and there have been 767 professionals who have been certified through this program to date. The validity of the psychometric integrity of the examination has been previously established. In order to further understand the impact and future direction of the CIIP certification on diplomats, a survey was conducted in 2010. This paper will discuss the results of the survey.
