Can you tell me a little bit about how you've been able to actually implement these changes at the Ottawa Hospital? Have your radiology colleagues or surgical colleagues or emergency colleagues pushed back or reacted a certain way to these changes?

I haven't received a lot of pushback in terms of adopting the new policy.

Most of our radiology colleagues have been quite interested in developing a newer policy, which advances patient care.

But it has not been a very straightforward course.

24:45
And then we really worked on making sure that we have an operationally efficient guidelines.
24:51
