2010 CAR International Guidelines Symposium: Pooling International Knowledge on Appropriateness in Diagnostic Imaging

Hyatt Regency Hotel, Montréal, Québec

The Canadian Association of Radiologists has been actively implementing and promoting the use of evidence-based guidelines to support appropriate use of imaging services in Canada. Numerous countries are similarly active in guidelines implementation. There is much to be learned from a sharing of international knowledge and experience. This Symposium will facilitate an international dialogue which can improve appropriateness of imaging care, more specifically through the creation and implementation of imaging referral guidelines that are effectively applied to the varying contexts (regional, national and global) in which health care is provided.

Distinguished Speakers Include:

• Dr. Michael Bettmann, Chair of the Appropriateness Criteria Committee, American College of Radiology, US
• Dr. Ramin Khorasani, Center for Evidence-Based Imaging, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, US
• Dr. Richard Mendelson, Editor, Diagnostic Imaging Pathways, Australia
• Dr. Martin Reed, Chair of the CAR Guidelines Working Group, Canada
• Dr. Denis Remedios, Chair of the Guidelines Working Party, Royal College of Radiologists, UK
• Dr. Sara Twaddle, President of the Guidelines International Network

Who Should Attend?

If you are a Radiologist, Physician, Technologist or a Healthcare Administrator with a responsibility for, or an interest in, health policy, healthcare administration, health services research or clinical leadership, you will be interested in knowing more about how guidelines for appropriate healthcare, particularly diagnostic imaging, can be made to function in the real world of healthcare delivery.
