UW Health and the UW School of Medicine Public Health established the Center for High Value Imaging (CHVI) to improve patient access, experience and outcomes through high-value imaging.
A patient-centered strategy, high-value imaging aims to improve patient access and experience as well as maximize actionable imaging-derived information. This efficiency is core to being good stewards of our human and technological resources.
CHVI’s multiyear plan focuses on three domains: patient care and community service, research and innovation, as well as education. Projects within the domains will feed into each other, while always keeping the patient as the primary focus.
MISSION STATEMENT
To transform radiological care through high-value imaging by aligning precision data science, innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and operational excellence with the goals of improving patient access, experience, and outcomes.
