Collaborating With the Canadian Association of Radiologists to Help Address COVID-19 Restrictions on Medical Imaging Services



In the summer of 2020, as COVID-19 restrictions were loosening, governments began to consider how to safely resume medical imaging procedures and address the significant patient wait lists that resulted from the pandemic.



During this time, we joined a pan-Canadian Radiology Re-entry Taskforce to provide guidance to Canadian health care systems on how best to safely resume the provision of medical imaging services; our Implementation Support and Knowledge Mobilization team led the work of one of the Canadian Association of Radiologist’s Taskforce working groups, and we were a key contributor to the association’s evidence-based report Radiology Resumption of Clinical Services, which was widely shared among the Canadian radiology community.
