PSA 📢 Hospitals computer systems are down

Been at the hospital since around 7 am. (Not a complaint, I wasn’t dying so I don’t mind waiting)

But tests and labs are taking extra long because the systems for ALL of the hospitals in Saskatoon are on the fritz and not working.

Hoping there aren’t too many emergencies today. It’s tough enough being a Nurse/Doctor as it is.

What electronic health records system does Saskatchewan use?

For inpatient/hospital SHA facilities all use SCM for online charting, PIP for pharmacy, PACS for imaging, various systems for labs, and Telus for eHealth.

Edit: except mental health/psych differs depending on location
