  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • A 5-year imaging management plan was developed for Manitoba's single insurance carrier.
  • Radiologic utilization data from fiscal year 1993 were reviewed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze radiologic utilization patterns in Manitoba.
  • To inform imaging management strategies and cost reduction efforts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiologic utilization data for fiscal year 1993.
  • Comparison of data with 1979 utilization statistics.
  • Analysis of patient population, number of studies, equipment, personnel, and costs.

Main Results:

  • Over 1 million imaging studies were performed in fiscal year 1993.
