Starting Monday, Nov. 10, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has launched a new process to provide patients, families, and communities with accurate and reliable information about emergency room availability. All emergency service disruptions, regardless of their length, are now being posted publicly on the SHA website, with updates occurring daily at 4 p.m., seven days a week.
This webpage, found at https://www.saskhealthauthority.ca/news-events/service-disruptions, lists all affected facilities alphabetically and provides direct links from the SHA Facilities & Locations directory to community-specific disruption notices.
When emergency room services are disrupted, signage will be posted at the affected facility, and Healthline 811 will have real-time information available. Patients and families are encouraged to call Healthline 811 toll-free, 24 hours a day, for advice regarding service availability or to access health guidance from Registered Nurses and other qualified health professionals.
Work is also underway to enhance this process by developing a longer-term, user-friendly public interface to support real-time updates.
In any life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately so paramedics can assess, treat, and transport the patient to the nearest available site for medical attention.
We work together to improve health and well-being. Every day. For everyone.
