TRIP™ (Transforming the Radiological Interpretation Process) is a SCAR initiative to spearhead research, education, and discovery of innovative solutions to the problem of information/image data overload. Burgeoning medical image data sets acquired by digital imaging devices requires the radiological community to shift its image interpretation and management processes. The SCAR TRIP™ Initiative will foster interdisciplinary research on technology as well as environmental and human factors to better manage and exploit the massive amount of information available. TRIP™ will focus on three fundamental objectives:
- improving efficiency of interpretation of large data sets,
- improving the timeliness and effectiveness of communication, and
- decreasing medical errors.
The ultimate goal of the initiative is to improve the quality and safety of patient care.
