Cost of SAM Courses: FREE!

SAM courses are free for all attendees.

Attendance for SAM Courses: Physical Attendance is Mandatory

Attendees must be physically in attendance at the session. Docents will scan their badges to ensure that the SA-CME credit for the session is flagged in Credit Eval.

Earning SA-CME Credit

Attendees must still evaluate the session within Credit Eval in order to ensure that they receive credit. Attendees will receive both SA-CME credit and CME credit for the same session; once they have been scanned for the SAM course, the SA-CME credit flag has been set within Credit Eval. SA-CME credit is officially awarded after the answers have been graded.

ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION AND CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE

Attendance Verification is Required for Attendees to Claim Credit

While attendees must be verified at the annual meeting, they no longer have to do anything to be verified. Their badge is equipped with Eventbit – Beacon technology that will automatically verify them when their badge is printed. No additional steps will need to be taken. Also, many institutions that send their physicians and technicians want to see some evidence of their having attended the meeting. The Certificate of Attendance satisfies this need.

Certificates of Attendance

2. Visit Meeting Central and log in to print a personalized certificate while at the meeting. 3. Visit either Information Desk for a handwritten personalized certificate of attendance. 4. After the meeting, email reginfo@rsna.org to request a personalized certificate of

DIGITAL POSTERS / ELECTRONIC EXHIBITS (DPS)

https://dps.rsna.org/

About Digital Posters / Electronic Exhibits

Digital Posters are a collection of electronic Education Exhibits, Scientific Posters, Scientific Papers, and Quality Storyboards that have been accepted via abstract submission. You will most commonly hear attendees refer to these collectively as “electronic exhibits.”

Digital Poster (DPS) Physical Location at McCormick Place

There are 3 study lounges and 20 Subspecialty Communities within the Learning Center Hall D, Lakeside Center – East

Digital Posters are also accessible by:

Physical meeting attendees with a badge on the RSNA wireless network through Meeting Central or the Mobile App

Registered Virtual Meeting attendees through Meeting Central NOTE: Physical meeting attendees must purchase a virtual meeting registration to access Digital Posters outside of McCormick place!

Digital Posters Login

Attendees login with their Registrant ID (badge number) and password (last name). If they access the site while logged into Meeting Central, the Virtual Meeting website, or Case of the Day, they will be automatically logged into DPS.

There is no CME for Digital Posters Except for Lunchtime Presentations

Digital Posters, by themselves, do not meet the requirements for CME credit. However, Lunchtime Presentations are interactive sessions that are eligible for CME credit, and are located in the Subspecialty Communities in the Learning Center.

Post-meeting Access

Not all posters are available after the annual meeting due to copyright laws, as some of these posters are to be published in upcoming publications, and some are brand new research to be expanded upon in the future. Education Exhibits are available post-meeting forever. Science exhibits are available only through Tuesday, April 30th @ 4:00 p.m. CST. Visit http://www.rsna.org/Past_Meetings.aspx and click on Digital Posters for a past meeting year.

Layout for DPS 2018: Study Lounges

The DPS viewing area has been reimagined into 3 separate, smaller study lounges located in

different quadrants of the Learning Center, Hall D. Within these lounges, attendees can access

all the posters and presentations within DPS regardless of subspecialty.

Layout for DPS 2018: Diamond Shaped Subspecialty Communities

Additionally, attendees still have access to the Community areas (arranged in a diamond shaped pattern) which are outfitted with computers for viewing posters and exhibits specific to their subspecialty. For example, a cardiac radiologist may head straight to the Cardiac subspecialty community (CA, red) and immediately get viewing access to just the Cardiac presentations. He or she may also engage with Cardiac presenters and receive CME during the Lunchtime Presentations. Each subspecialty will retain the color scheme concept from previous years, which will be carried throughout the communities on header signs, graphic panels and overhead signage. Additional signage will be added to help attendees navigate the new layout. Carpet color on cross aisles will be different than in the subspecialty communities to provide pathways to aid navigation.

DPS Pod Computer Stations in Subspecialty Communities

The subspecialty community computer stations are configured into four-sided pod kiosks similar to the Case of the Day design. The goal of this configuration is to foster meaningful exchanges between presenters and attendees for lunchtime presentations. Each pod station will identified by a numbered placard.

CASE OF THE DAY (COD)

Virtual Meeting Certificate of Attendance

Certificates of Attendance for the Virtual Meeting will be automatically emailed after an attendee

has participated in his / her first live virtual session and has completed the evaluation.

On-demand vs. Live Sessions

A live virtual session refers to a session that is happening in real time. (I.e. if the session begins at 2pm Central time zone, the attendee must watch the virtual session at 2pm CST). The attendee can interact with the presenter and other attendees via a live chat and will earn CME credit for having attended the session “live.”

“On-demand” is considered by the AMA as an “Enduring Materials, which requires

assessment of the learner by patient-management case studies, and / or application of

new concepts in response to simulated problems.”

o An on-demand virtual session refers to a session that has already taken place (i.e. yesterday at 2pm Central time zone). The attendee views the recorded session, if available.

CME Credit Available for All Live Sessions and 25 Specific On-demand Sessions

25 courses have been designated for CME credit when consumed on demand following the live session. These courses will be awarded 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ when viewed on demand through 4 PM CT on April 30, 2019, and upon successful completion of a test and course evaluation. This Enduring Material has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

Claiming CME for the Virtual Meeting for LIVE Sessions

For sessions that were viewed live, credit is claimed the same way at the physical meeting via Credit Eval. See claiming credit using Credit Eval on page 6.

These sessions are invitation-only and limited to 100 attendees. But if an attendee wants to go and doesn’t have an invite, direct them to the room and after invited attendees have taken a seat they will be allowed in.

Non-RSNA Satellite Symposiums

Non-RSNA Satellite Symposiums are educational sessions that take place off-site (not at McCormick Place) before or after meeting hours. Some Non-RSNA Satellite Symposiums offer CME, others do not. Satellite Symposiums are not promoted in the RSNA program.

Vendor Workshops

Vendor Workshops take place in the Technical Exhibit Halls A & B. These are hands-on workshops taught and equipped by exhibiting companies. Attendees have the opportunity to gain practical first-hand knowledge from experts in the field of radiology. CME credit is not available for these workshops.

MY EXHIBITORS

https://meeting.rsna.org/mymeeting/exhibitors/ This application is located under the My Meeting drop down in the Meeting Central navigation bar. Attendees must be logged in to access My Exhibitors. My Exhibitors is a listing of all technical exhibits that an attendee has added to their list, similar to a bookmark. Attendees login to Meeting Central and select the Add button next to an exhibitor in order to add it to their listing. They can then select My Exhibitors button or select My Exhibitors from the drop down under My Meeting to view their additions. Attendees can access the exhibitors’ links from the listing to view background information for that vendor / exhibitor and also their location with McCormick Place.

RSNA DIAGNOSIS LIVE TM

http://live.rsna.org

Background

RSNA Diagnosis LiveTM is RSNA’s very own interactive learning tool, developed in-house by the

IT team. 66 institutions currently use Diagnosis Live TM in their educational sessions. Diagnosis

LiveTM is a gamified, audience-response approach to studying radiological images and content.

Players answer questions on their mobile devices and receive immediate feedback from the

course presenter. Presenters have access to analytics of the players’ responses.

Types of Questions

There are three types of questions in RSNA Diagnosis Live TM:

Poll

o A multiple choice formatted question

o Counts for points

Touch

o Users select a location on an image as their answer by tapping their screen

o Counts for points

Survey

o Can be in a Poll or Touch question format

o Does not count for points; often an opinion question

Player’s View vs. Presenter’s View

The presenter uploads a presentation from PowerPoint or Keynote into Diagnosis LiveTM. The

presentation converts into the Diagnosis Live format. The presenter creates questions for the

presentation.

Players are invited to join the game. The presenter runs the game, displaying the “presenter’s

view,” typically on a large screen for the entire audience. Players view a mobile version of the

presentation and are able to answer questions using their mobile device.

RSNA MOBILE JOURNAL APPS

Mobile apps for Radiology and RadioGraphics are available year-round for Apple iOS and Android mobile devices in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. These apps are separate from the RSNA Annual Meeting app. The apps are free to download, but access to the full articles requires an active RSNA membership or journal subscription. Journal issues published in the last 12 months are available from the apps. Article abstracts are freely available to all app users. To access the full text of the articles, users must log in using their RSNA Member (or individual journal subscription) user name and password or, if their hospital or institution has a subscription, open the app from within the subscribing institution’s registered IP range. If a user wishes to access articles that are older than one year from a mobile device, direct them to the mobile view of our web site at http://pubs.rsna.org. For more information, consult the mobile journals FAQ at http://pubs.rsna.org/page/help/mobileapps. For app troubleshooting assistance at the Annual Meeting, contact Tom Kruk or other Journals staff at Membership and Resources or write pubsfeedback@rsna.org to reach support in Oak Brook.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING

RSNA has a very large social media presence, especially during the annual meeting. RSNA has Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts that are updated throughout the annual meeting, as well as during the rest of the year. Feel free to check out the RSNA’s pages and encourage attendees to do so, too!

RSNA - Facebook

RSNA - LinkedIn

RSNA - Instagram

RSNA - Twitter

Official Annual Meeting Hashtag

The official annual meeting hashtag is #RSNA18.

Tweet-ups

Social Media Guidelines for Staff

We encourage staff to participate in social media for RSNA. Staff participation demonstrates

employee pride in the work of the organization and helps to spread the word to networks that we

do not ordinarily reach.

The same guidelines for in-person behavior apply to social media communications. A quick rule

of thumb: If you wouldn’t say something to (or in the presence of) an attendee in-person, you

shouldn’t say it on social media.

Eventbit – Beacon Technology

All badges are now equipped with beacon technology that eliminates the need for attendees to

to verify their attendance This simplifies the CME process and links the attendee to Meeting

Central for an enhanced meeting experience. Please note that although the badge also allows

RSNA to gather data to improve future meetings, RSNA will never share, rent or sell attendees

personally identifiable information. To opt out of this technology, any attendee should please

visit any registration location.

Additional Talking Points for Attendees

RSNA endeavors to gain intelligence about annual meeting attendees to better understand

participation patterns, make smarter decisions, minimize risks and identify opportunities. To

provide a highly personalized experience to each attendee, it is imperative to gather necessary

data to understand overall consumption of the annual meeting (e.g. Education, Scientific

Sessions, Technical Exhibits, Showcase Exhibits, Connections Center, etc.). To achieve this

goal, RSNA will implement behavioral tracking solution technology (Experient’s eventBit

solution) on all professional registrant badges at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

An eventBit beacon will be attached to every professional attendee badge during the regular registration process. A beacon chip is small, lightweight, battery-powered and transmits a unique signal to strategically placed readers. Optimal battery life is limited; all professional badges will be printed onsite.

Readers are placed throughout the event – session rooms, association services, exhibit halls and sponsored areas. They are battery-powered and easily deployed. Installation requires no physical access to venue infrastructure nor skilled labor.

A reader records each individual beacon within its configured proximity and transmits that data to a secure website where it is compiled and real-time accessible.

Attendees have been informed about eventBit in promotional messages before the meeting, via signage at badge pick-up locations and within the Meeting Guide.

To see additional information about GDPR and eventBit, please reference the What’s New document also located on the employee cog on meeting.rsna.org.

STAFF COMMUNICATION

Employee Emergency Text Messaging System

Keeping staff informed and prepared to provide excellent customer service remains a top priority as we prepare for RSNA 2018. To streamline and improve communications at this year’s annual meeting, we have evaluated several communication plans and have determined that utilizing the existing Emergency Alert Text System is the best solution for real-time communication. Email will be utilized for sharing more detailed information. Staff will receive one daily email from Mark Lichtenberger and up to approximately 12 text messages during the week of the meeting. Text messaging will be used to communicate critical, real-time information (safety concerns, widespread technology glitches, major housing/transportation changes, etc.). Daily emails will be used to provide additional information on any issues shared via text, provide a recap of any changes or updates from the previous day, and share kudos for staff going above-and-beyond. To provide the best customer service to members, all staff will be expected to check email daily and stay up-to-date with information being shared via text. Computers will be available throughout McCormick Place for staff to check email. If you have questions about staff communications or would like to opt out of the Emergency Alert Text System, contact Taylor Viering.

IMAGE WISELY

Image Wisely (ImageWisely.org) is an initiative of RSNA, ACR, AAPM and ASRT to raise awareness and provide educational resources for medical professionals on the use of ionizing radiation in adult medical imaging examinations.

RADIOLOGYINFO.ORG

RadiologyInfo.org is an excellent patient education resource, and it’s one of the easiest and

simplest ways you can enhance the quantity and quality of information you provide. All you have

to do is share the URL with your referring physicians and patients. The website is continually

updated to ensure content is current and complete. You can confidently direct your referrers –

and their patients – to the site knowing that they can find easy-to-understand procedure

descriptions and patient-friendly videos.

Talking Points:

RadiologyInfo.org was recently updated using patient feedback; visits are up about 31%

Radiologists can educate referrers and their patients by using RadiologyInfo.org handouts and videos

Radiology practices can become Affiliates by linking their practice website to RadiologyInfo.org

Join an informal discussion about RadiologyInfo.org in the Discovery Theater (see online program for times). Practices are free to link to the RadiologyInfo.org home page or to a specific procedure page (i.e., Knee MRI). They do not need permission to do so. If they need assistance with this, they can contact Don Ferreira at dferreira@rsna.org. Radiology Info also has an Affiliate Program in which links are exchanged. Affiliates get their logo and a link to their website on Radiology Info’s Affiliate Page at http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=about-affiliates. Doctors can find/download program information there as well as contact information for any questions.

RADIOLOGY CARES

The Radiology Cares Campaign (RadiologyCares.org) offers a number of practice resources such as the Model of Care – a modular guide to taking patient-centered radiology from concept to practice. Posters, letters and postcards are also available to download, customize and use to enhance your communication with patients. You can also upload your own examples to share with the radiology community.

If you’re unfamiliar with patient-centered care, try the Educational Toolkit – an index to resources on the web about the patient-centered movement. If you want to share the importance of practicing patient-centered radiology with your colleagues or community, try the customizable PowerPoint presentation decks. They include background facts, quotes, and even a case study. Talking Points:

Radiologists can use RadiologyCares.org Practice Resources (posters, letters, postcards) and/or RadiologyInfo.org Physician Resources (Exam requisition form, Radiation Dose Chart, fliers/posters) to provide more patient-centered care

Radiologists can show the impact of their patient-centered care by submitting patient thank-you notes and kudos for display in The Caring Quilt

Dr. Max Wintermark and Dr. Jennifer Kemp will lead an informal discussion about the Radiology Cares campaign in the Discovery Theater (see online program for times).
