Abstract

Strengthening the field of imaging informatics by further defining standards and advocating for continuous education are the cornerstones of the American Board of Imaging Informatics (ABII). ABII is the non-profit organization that governs the Imaging Informatics Professional certification program. ABII is responsible for awarding the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional (CIIP) designation to candidates who meet specified educational and experience-based criteria and pass a qualifying exam (1). For this paper, we analyzed Quality Improvement (QI) projects submitted to ABII for satisfaction of the 10-year requirements in 2017-2021. The project reports demonstrated a variety of interventions undertaken to ultimately improve patient care. A retrospective review of these reports exemplifies the critical role the Certified Imaging Informatics Professionals have in delivery of high quality, safe healthcare and their vital contributions to the healthcare industry and practice of medicine.

Keywords: ABII; CIIP; Imaging Informatics; Quality Improvement (QI); SIIM.
