Course Description
As health systems continue to consolidate, imaging data has progressed
from department-based systems to consolidation at the state level.
Imaging professionals are expected to provide access to any images
anywhere at any time. The term enterprise imaging has come about
to reflect the shift from diagnostic radiology procedures to include
departments as diverse as dermatology, pathology and surgery. These
departments and more are collecting images which need to be
acquired and managed in a way that they can pe presented to the right
physician at the right time.
This program will cover the transition from a local PACS to an advanced
Enterprise Imaging system, as well as address emerging trends such as
Artificial Intelligence (AI), FHIR and blockchain based applications.
Learning Objectives
zz This program will cover the knowledge areas required to architect an
advanced enterprise imaging system
zz Lectures and whiteboard discussions will cover VNA, system
architecture, current generation and next generation technologies
required to meet the evolving needs of the physician community
zz Focused on enterprise imaging needs to prepare managers and
administrators to transition from facility based to enterprise systems
zz Professionals will leave the course with actionable information that
can be immediately used to design and implement VNA, multi-
departmental PACS, encounters based workflows and non-DICOM
integration
zz Use cases, real world issues and the problem solving techniques
Course Benefits
You will leave this course with an advanced understanding of:
zz PACS/EMR/Viewers/VNA/Enterprise Worklist and the other
components required to architect an enterprise imaging system
zz Understand the differences and uses of enterprise PACS and
enterprise imaging systems
zz Preparations required to successfully transition to enterprise imaging
and VNA
zz Design and architecture considerations when building a system to
hold billions of images
zz When and how to use image routers or to put VNA before PACS

deconstructed or PACS-less environment
zz Full comprehension of compression and where it should be applied
in the environment

Trainer Profile
Kyle Henson
Founder VNA Heartbeat,
Director of Operations, DataFirst Corp
Instructor: PACS, VNA and Enterprise
Imaging Architecture and Design
Kyle has a MBA in Healthcare Administration and is currently working
on is Doctor of Management, which he uses daily in both in the
company he founded, VNA Heartbeat and the Imaging data migration
company he works for, DataFirst.
Kyle recently left his position as Director of Enterprise Imaging for Tenet
Health, a 70-hospital system where he built the enterprise imaging
department and the VNA from the ground up. Kyle and his team were
directly responsible for building the VNA, migrating all imaging data
to it, setting the standards for implementation at all hospitals and
architecting the system to meet future demands. Over a period of 4
years Kyle’s team designed and deployed a VNA and integrated over
220 distinct systems with it and migrated 1.7Petabytes of data. The VNA
included an XDS registry / repository which is integrated with the zero-
footprint universal viewer that they also deployed to all hospitals and
trained the users.
Kyle has also consulted and provided key product design enhancements
for McKesson PACS, McKesson CPACS, Philips CPACS, IBM Watson
iConnect Access and the Hyland Acuo VNA.
As an industry leader, Kyle is familiar with many of the challenges being
faced in the day to day implementation and management of complex
imaging systems. He has worked as Imaging consultant architect, a
PACS vendor and the director of Enterprise Imaging at a major health
system. Throughout his career he has had the opportunity to work
with many world class health systems such as Security Forces Hospital
Program (Riyadh), US Department of Defense, Catholic Health Initiatives,
Long Island Jewish Health System, Tenet Health, The University of
Florida, The University of West Virginia and many others.
Kyle is an active member of the Health Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) and Society for Imaging Informatics in
Medicine (SIIM)
