This project aims to increase access to the MRI scanner at EKRH. In doing this we must be very thoughtful not to compromise patient care while maintaining appropriate workload balance for the staff and radiologists. We must consider various factors such as current access, wait-times, reporting turn around times, environmentally sustainable practice and appropriate use. We aim to be responsible stewards of a valuable and limited resource so that benefits versus risks are minimized.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
