In the context of Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS), Health Improvement Initiatives focuses on the intersection of three principal domains of healthcare: system, leadership, quality. This course will explore the organization and structure of the Canadian healthcare system to better understand and appreciate the roles and accountabilities of those who use and those who function within it. It will also examine MRS healthcare leadership at all levels and the development of collaborative leadership and project management skills for the adaptable MRS healthcare practitioner needed for today’s dynamic healthcare environment, including understanding quality improvement initiatives aimed to make healthcare more effective, efficient, and safe.
