Our Virtual Summer Series 2020 Recap

Our Virtual Summer Series that we held alongside Virtual SIIM 2020 just wrapped up. It was a different kind of event for all of us, your feet may be feeling more rested than last year, but your eyes may be feeling the strain of hopping from webinar to webinar. While we miss meeting in person, it was great to connect with so many new and familiar faces during this challenging time.

We were thrilled to kick off the week with exciting news. The Ambra Health team proudly announced new integrations with Epic’s MyChart and other applications. The interoperability across platforms enables patients, physicians, and administrators to instantly access medical imaging, when and where they need it most.

It has become a tradition during SIIM for RADxx to host a networking event where our community can meet in person, connect with fellow leaders in radiology and informatics, and support our mission to promote diversity within the industry. This year, we held our first-ever virtual yoga session! It was a great time to unwind, not only during SIIM but during a difficult time that has impacted everyone’s lives in many different ways.
