What is TRIP™?

TRIP™ (Transforming the Radiological Interpretation Process) is an initiative of The Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) 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:

1) Improving efficiency of interpretation of large data sets
2) Improving the timeliness and effectiveness of communication, and
3) Decreasing medical errors. 
  
The ultimate goal of the initiative is to improve the quality and safety of patient care.
