The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has advised the College that it proposes to revoke Regulation 985, R.R.O. 1990 made under the Radiological Technicians Act. Although the Radiological Technicians Act was repealed when the Regulated Health Professions Act was proclaimed, the regulations made under the Radiological Technicians Act were not formally revoked.
If you have any comments with respect to the revocation of the Regulation 985, R.R.O. 1990 under the Radiological Technicians Act, please direct them in writing,
no later than February 28, 2006, to:
The Registrar, College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario
170 Bloor Street West, Suite #1001, Toronto, ON M5S 1T9
Facsimile: (416) 975-4355

New Public Member Appointment
A new public member has been appointed to the College Council by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Ellen Greenwood joins Council for a three year term commencing August 8th, 2005. Ms. Greenwood is president of her own consulting firm specialising in the links between the environment and health. Ms. Greenwood previously served on the Council of the College of Nurses of Ontario. The role of public members is to ensure that the public participates in the College's decisions.
Multi-Source Feedback System Update
Because a required component of the College's Quality Assurance Program is to conduct a practice assessment of members, we have been engaged in a two-year long project to create a multi-source feedback system with the assistance of Dr. Claudio Violato. Over the past nine months, Dr. Violato and the College's Quality Assurance Committee completed a comprehensive pilot project to assess draft materials and approaches. Dr. Violato's final report, including draft multi-source feedback system scales, summary assessment profile, and evaluation questionnaire, was presented to Council during the summer.
The College Council is enthusiastic about pursuing the further development of the multi-source feedback approach as the next step in extending the success of our Quality Assurance Program. The study now moves into an evaluative phase as the QA Committee looks at the impact on the practice behaviour of those who took part in the pilot study (see Insights Summer 2005). It is hoped that this part of the evaluation will be completed by the end of 2005.
Next year the College will engage in a communication program intended to help inform all members about the multi-source feedback system, the logic behind taking this next step, the key parts of the program, and the
expectations for participation by members. The actual implementation of the system will take place gradually
to ensure a cost-effective and logical introduction of the new approach, and to monitor the impact on the workload
of College staff. Watch for future issues of Insights to find out more about the planned communication program.
CMRTO Web Site Upgrade
The College has completed its upgrade of its web site - www.cmrto.org - with the new site going live on September 16, 2005. The new web site exhibits many new features which make it even more user-friendly:
- All sections are colour coded so you will know exactly which section you are in at all times.
- All menus remain visible for ease of navigation through the web site.
- Each page of the new web site has a specific URL address which makes it easier to include a link directly to
a specific page within the site.
- The 'Links' section includes links to other organizations used by our members on a regular basis and by visitors who require additional information.
- College publications are captured on one page called the 'Resource Room' with improved printing capabilities.
- Information specific to different users, other than our members, is organized into three main categories - 'Public', 'Applicants' and 'Employers'.
- There is a French section, 'Les Dossiers', containing College forms, publications and legislative links which are available in French.
- The registration area has been simplified by dividing it into two categories, 'Applicants' and 'Members'.
- The Quality Assurance Program section is now an integrated part of the site with a single page for each of the various forms.
- The section containing information about the College's complaints process is easier to understand and locate.
The College encourages all members to visit the web site regularly and continue to use it as your primary source of information about policies, procedures and practices.
