Mitchell Goldburgh and Dawn Cram join the team to discuss the details of the Data Standards Evaluation Workgroup that has been formed through the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community. This initiative is working to develop a Standards Scoring Model and leverage the scoring model to evaluate existing standards related to Body Part and/or Anatomic Region nomenclature, disseminating such findings to the Community in a neutral and evidentiary-based method.

HIMSS-SIIM Questionnaire on Terminology
