ADT North American Leadership Group

The ADT North American Leadership Group ADT was established and convened at the Vail meeting in February 2010. In an intensive 3 days of visioning sessions, presentations and discussion forums substantial progress was made in identifying, prioritising and setting a development agenda for the use of digital technologies within the field. Culminating in the establishment of 4 leadership groups:

• Imaging Guidelines
• Clinical Outcomes
• Education
• Business Models

the idea is to drive forward our thinking and strategies so as to be able to

• develop and set hardware software guidelines and standards
• quantify and qualify measurement error
• promote the development of open standards for data exchange
• devise inclusive business models that benefit both industry suppliers and practitioners
• development financial models that can encapsulate digital technologies within the treatment program
• advise practitioners in respect of available systems and technological trends
• provide access to training resources, guides and training institutions
• facilitate the development of other worldwide groups such that together we can inform the ADT globally

To achieve those aims this site acts as a discussion forum for each of the groups that arose from the conference. Please access each section to view each group's current working agenda, to read its mission statement and to review its progress against set goals.

We hope you find this site useful and value any feedback you can provide.

Best wishes
