Introduction

The
 Quality Assurance (QA) Program is one of the key components of the regulation of the
profession of medical radiation and imaging technology in the public interest. The practice of
the profession is constantly changing. Registrants’ professional roles, responsibilities, and
accountabilities differ today from those of yesterday, and will evolve even more in the future.
The purpose of the QA Program is to assure the quality of the profession’s practice and
promote continuing evaluation, competence, and improvement among registrants to ensure
safe, effective, and ethical patient outcomes.

In
 the Standards of Practice and the QA Program, “registrants” refers to all registrants of
the CMRITO; that is, registrants in all of the five specialties: radiography, radiation therapy,
nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance and diagnostic medical sonography. Similarly,
“profession” refers to the profession of medical radiation and imaging technology, which
includes all of the five specialties: radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, magnetic
resonance and diagnostic medical sonography.

What is the CMRITO Quality Assurance Program?


As
 regulated health professionals, CMRITO registrants are required to maintain competence
in their current area(s) of practice and continually improve their competence to respond to
changes in practice environments, advances in technology, and the evolving health care
environment.

The
 goal of the CMRITO QA Program is to assure the public of the quality of practice of
medical radiation and imaging technology by maintaining registrants’ performance at a level
that meets the profession’s Standards of Practice and by promoting continuing competence
and improvement.

The CMRITO QA Program:

• complies with the legislative requirement1 of the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA)
that the CMRITO establish and maintain a QA program

• is consistent with the CMRITO’s mandate to regulate the profession to protect the public
interest

• encourages registrants to take accountability for their continuing competence and quality
improvement in a changing environment

• provides an opportunity for registrants to control and direct their own continuing education
and professional development

The requirements for the CMRITO QA Program are set out in the Health Professions Procedural Code, Schedule 2 of the
Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) and the quality assurance regulation (O. Reg. 375/12) made under the Medical
Radiation and Imaging Technology Act (MRIT Act).
