CASE STUDY 4

Client Overview

A radiologist committed to improving diagnostic accuracy among medical residents partnered with MedSRED to explore SR&ED eligibility for her structured investigations. Her research focused on identifying common interpretive errors and assessing their impact on clinical decision-making through controlled evaluation.

The Challenge

Although her efforts were aimed at enhancing patient outcomes, the radiologist was initially uncertain whether her work qualified as scientific under the SR&ED program. She needed clarity on eligibility and support navigating CRA requirements while maintaining focus on her academic responsibilities.

Our Approach

During an in-depth consultation, Andrew reviewed her methodologies—including comparative accuracy assessments, feedback loops, and iterative training models—and confirmed that her activities aligned with CRA’s definition of experimental development in a clinical education context.

A claim strategy was outlined, and MedSRED worked with the radiologist to compile supporting documentation, including study protocols, data collection frameworks, and performance metrics used to evaluate diagnostic interpretation. The team focused on showcasing how her structured approach reduced variability and minimized clinical error in high-stakes environments.

Technical narratives and expenditure schedules were carefully prepared and reviewed to reflect both the scientific rigor of the work and its setting within an academic institution. All files underwent an internal audit to ensure compliance and optimize claim strength.

The Result

The SR&ED refund secured across two fiscal years totaled $95,538.

By managing the technical and administrative components of the claim, MedSRED enabled the radiologist to continue driving clinical innovation while maximizing her research refund with minimal disruption to her practice.
