Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and healthcare
partners in Thunder Bay and the region of Northwestern Ontario
continue to function without the full use of the Meditech
Computer Hospital Information System Services.
Meditech facilitates the movement of patient data. The data
could relate to the Emergency Department, in-patient nursing
units, Diagnostic Imaging, Laboratory Services, and other
patient care areas, to name a few.
What this interruption of service effectively does is force
us to deliver care in a slower fashion.
Outpatient lab testing will continue to be restricted to
our patients requiring urgent testing only.
All other patient appointments including out-patient rehabilitation,
diagnostic testing and surgeries are proceeding as scheduled.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as wait
times remain longer than usual.
Please be assured that there has been no risk to patient
data. We remain focused on patient care and safety.
