Practical Informatics Training

Imaging informatics training that gives you clarity and confidence.

Healthcare runs on images. Most people are never taught how the systems behind them actually work. We teach the workflows, standards, and architecture behind imaging, so you can make better decisions, work with confidence & advance your career.

Mentor Background

Why imaging informatics training matters

Most imaging professionals learn informatics through trial and error. A workaround here… a quick fix there… a fire put out because someone has to. It works for survival. It doesn’t work for clarity.

Nagels Consulting helps imaging professionals build a practical understanding.

We teach how imaging standards like DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and IHE enable systems such as PACS, VNAs, and AI-driven workflows to work together in practice.

With the right foundation, you can:

Anticipate issues before they surface

Communicate effectively across clinical, technical, and vendor teams

Make informed decisions in projects and day-to-day operations

Step confidently into roles with greater responsibility

Featured Program

The CIIP Foundations Program

The CIIP credential requires more than memorized facts. It requires a practical understanding of how imaging workflows move, how systems communicate, and how standards shape patient care.

The CIIP Foundations Program gives you a clear, structured understanding of imaging informatics so you can approach the exam with confidence and apply that knowledge in real-world roles.

What you’ll be prepared to do

Understand imaging workflows end-to-end, from acquisition through reporting, archiving, and exchange

Explain how imaging standards enable systems to work together, including DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and IHE integration profiles

Evaluate operational and governance decisions, including downtime planning, change control, vendor management, and lifecycle strategy

Approach CIIP-style questions with confidence, using a mental model aligned to ABII domains rather than memorized facts

Why it gives you an edge

Built around the ABII CIIP Test Content Outline, so your study time aligns with how the exam is structured

Short, focused video lectures that explain workflows and concepts clearly, without unnecessary theory

Interactive learning with practice questions, flashcards, and exercises to reinforce understanding, not memorization

Practical examples and downloadable reference materials you can return to during the exam and on the job
