Delays being experienced at Hospitals-(Resolved)

Hospitals across the northeast are experiencing delays because of an issue with the Electronic Medical Record system.

On social media Thursday, the North Bay Regional Health Centre said surgeries and appointments are continuing as planned, however they’re asking for patience as teams are temporarily using paper-based documentation.  

The Health Centre also says people requiring routine bloodwork are asked to visit another lab or wait until the health information system is up and running.

Officials say their team is actively working to resolve the issue and restore full functionality as soon as possible.  

Health Sciences North in Sudbury says the system plays a vital role in accessing important patient information, care plans, and medical history.
