About CHITR
About CHITR Formed in August 2010, CHITR or Community of Health IT Research is an amalgamation of ClubPACS 2.0 and CHIU (Committee of Healthcare Informatics Users). CHITR is a vendor neutral, global, online (and free) community managed by health informatics professionals for health informatics professional. This group is open to everyone. Health Informatics is not restricted to any particular clinical discipline nor is it simply a technology solution, rather Health informatics is the effective application of technology to optimize workflow of the healthcare enterprise and while technology is the enabler, health informatics practitioners are the agents of change. The original goals of ClubPACS and CHIU is to facilitate and accelerate the growth of PACS and Health Informatics through education and communication, this has not changed except that we recognized that effective administration of PACS requires one to be proficient in the general domain of health informatics (among many other things). CHITR serves as the avenue for sharing best practices, education, networking, and helping ease the implementation of 'Paperless' technology in healthcare and you are invited to be part of this great initiative. CHITR is an initiative of binaryHealthCare. About binaryHealthCare  binaryHealthCare is a Social Enterprise that strive to improve healthcare (and saving lives) through advocating the importance of Health IT as an enabler for “better patient care at lower cost” by raising the standards of health informatics through training, continuing education and providing a vendor neutral community / hub to enable knowledge exchange and collaboration. binaryHealthCare maintains and work in tandem with following web portal/ communities to serve its mission.
History of ClubPACS  Founded by Dr Paul Nagy in 2002, ClubPACS enjoyed success as one of the most prominent and successful community for PACS Administrators all over the world. Dr Paul Nagy ‘retired’ ClubPACS back in late 2008 / early 2009 due to time and resources constraints. With Dr Nagy's blessing, Adam Chee (of binaryHealthCare) took over the ownership of ClubPACS on April 7 2009 and started the rebuilding process before relaunching it on Sep 22 2009 as ClubPACS 2.0. ClubPACS 2.0 enjoyed considerable success and in Aug 2010, ClubPACS merged with CHIU to form CHITR. For historical (and sentimental reasons), the domain name of www.ClubPACS.com is retained. History of CHIU  Founded in Sep 2008, CHIU (Committee of Healthcare Informatics User) is a community based committee that emphasis heavily on Vendor Neutrality and ongoing education in the areas of Healthcare Informatics in order lower cost of healthcare, which translates to quality yet affordable patient care.
