Dear all,

It was highlighted to me that emails going to PACSAdminDay.com has been bouncing back (that is a problem I kept having with BulkRegister.com for years (Their email forwarding breaks down every other day and their tech support is as good ask talking to a rock).

I’ve resetting the relevant settings and hopefully the emails can start coming in.
So please do send in your celebration stories, photos etc. to webmaster@pacsAdminDay.com

Thanks.

Adam

You thought we forgot didn’t you

Happy International PACS Administrators Day

Are you an Imaging Informatics Professional (or supporting staff) working in a healthcare facility or solution provider?

Did you miss the 2nd Annual International PACS Administrator Appreciation Day?

Fret not, mark your calenders, the 26th August 2011 is the 3rd annual International PACS Administrator Appreciation Day 🙂

However, do come back to this site often as there are some new and interesting initiatives coming up!

 

Crunchy numbers

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

A helper monkey made this abstract painting, inspired by your stats.

A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 2,800 times in 2010. That’s about 7 full 747s.

In 2010, there were 2 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 16 posts. There were 3 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 395kb.

The busiest day of the year was August 27th with 580 views. The most popular post that day was PACSAdmin What?.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were linkedin.com, binaryhealthcare.wordpress.com, play.scavengrnet.com, obama-scandal-exposed.co.cc, and facebook.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for pacs administrator day, pacs admin day, fireworks clipart, pacs administrator appreciation day, and pacsadminday.com.

The day came, we celebrated and got back to work recharged, fulfilled and motivated (at least for me 🙂 )

Terry Vandehei received an e-card from his co-workers in IT (I want an e-card too!)

Bruno Bellotto, Shailendrakumar Jariwala, Eugene Pakman and David Brown send their congrats (on other portals, others left their messages here directly). I know a couple of guys had mini celebration parties last year (Michael Lunsford included) so I’m waiting to hear if there are any this year.

Edit: Matt Granger (our Ambassador from California, USA) was ‘bestowed with offerings’ of  cake and a greeting card from the hospital he worked for and most importantly, his request to upgrade all  PACS hardware was approved! (read more here).

This web portal received over 600 unique visits on the 27th August 2010, again we received no corporate assistance from any major medical imaging equipment or solution provider etc, it’s all community driven (although I think we were a little laid back  this year)

For me, I happen to had a little gathering and we took photos (I uploaded a couple of them here).

Just an F.Y.I. This photo has ‘representatives’ from 3 different imaging informatics solution providers. If you have a celebration photo, send it to us at  webmaster @ pacsadminday.com

Please do mark your calendars for the 26th August 2011 for the third  annual International PACS Administrator Appreciation Day 

Note: International PACS Administrator Appreciation Day is for PACS Administrators (be it a radiologic technologist, an IT professional, a Biomedical Engineer, a Nurse or even Radiologists)  from around the world, and also all those involved in the support and management of medical imaging informatics (regardless of clinical discipline, solution providers).

Dear fellow Imaging Informatics Professionals,

Good news 🙂

ClubPACS 2.0 has been initiated and is in the moment of being launched, the community portal is already ‘live’ and I urge you to rejoin the community (the url remains the same at www.ClubPACS.com.

P.S. If you previously run a ClubPACS Chapter or wishes to start a ClubPACS Chapter in your region / country, please drop me a post in ClubPACS’s dicussion forums.

I look forward to all of you wonderful people over at ClubPACS.com

Cheers
Adam Chee
