IMPACT REPORT 2023
A Reflection from Our CEO Among the many achievements highlighted in this SIIM Impact Report 2023, one is my favorite: rolling out a new digital ecosystem for imaging informaticists. Why? Because current and future SIIM members of all imaging specialties can now more readily access, benefit from, and share SIIM’s growing number of digital assets. What happened? We migrated SIIM data from a legacy system to Nimble/Salesforce (database)… designed a new curiosity portal, personabased point of entry for SIIM (website)…and integrated our current learning management system with both new technologies. How? This resource-intensive, two-year initiative was driven by the SIIM Board of Directors’ vision for growth across the medical imaging enterprise, especially with a digital pathologist and dermatologist onboard (pun intended).
You Belong at #SIIM
I could not be more proud of the SIIM staff for executing this massive, new-forus project without compromising the high caliber of SIIM’s programs that our members have come to expect. Go to my.siim.org to access your My SIIM Account. Manage all things YOU + SIIM in one location. Out with the legacy tech stack in 2023. In with digital transformation at SIIM. Cheers to growth in 2024!
