The AHRA & Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. Putting Patients First Program seeks to improve
pediatric and adult patient care and safety in diagnostic imaging through an innovative grant-
making program. The Putting Patients First Program
will provide eight grants in 2019 to fund programs, training or seminars aimed at improving patient care and developing best imaging practices in the areas of CT, MR, Ultrasound, X-ray and Vascular. This collaboration seeks to improve patient care, safety and cybersecurity in imaging through grants that fund programs, trainings and seminars at IDN/hospital systems, local hospitals and imaging centers. The programs funded by
these grants will be used to create a best-practices tool to share with other hospitals and
institutions.
Six grants of up to $7,500 each are available to be awarded to single-site hospitals and

safety in imaging implemented across the IDN/hospital system.
