Invest in the radiology workforce. This would include the hiring and retention of medical radiation technologists (MRTs), sonographers and radiologists as part of a health human resource strategy to reduce backlogs and improve health services. Demonstrate leadership in AI by establishing the Health Artificial Intelligence Validation Network (HAIVN) framework as an independent entity to improve the evaluation and regulation of AI in Canada as part of Health Canada’s Medical Devices Directorate regulatory process. Guide an investment of $2 billion over three years for radiology equipment to improve access to modern medical imaging equipment. Streamline the process for equipment installation and reduce the substantial associated labour costs.

Capital equipment (CT and MRI): Guide a dedicated investment of $2 billion over three years for radiology equipment to improve access to modern medical imaging equipment. Streamline the process for equipment installation and reduce the substantial associated labour costs. Clinical decision support: Support the national integration of Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems into electronic medical records (EMRs) to ensure that patients receive the right test at the right time. Health human resources: Develop a strategy to recruit and retain radiologists, medical radiation technologists, and sonographers as part of a national approach to health human resources to reduce backlogs and improve health services. Federal Budget - investment in First Nations communities for medical imaging equipment and access to radiologists to improve care for population Artificial Intelligence: Demonstrate leadership in AI by providing financial support for the Health Artificial Intelligence Validation Network (HAIVN) to improve the evaluation and regulation of AI in Canada as part of Health Canada’s Medical Devices Directorate regulatory process, for the purpose of improved healthcare, economic development and innovation in Canada.
