SASKATOON — A health official says an automated fax error delayed medical imaging results for one doctor's account in the Saskatoon Health Region.
Test results were delayed for 62 patients between July 2015 and this past May.
The error had the potential to delay followups for five of the patients, although subsequent tests showed no added impact to their health.
Susan Antosh, CEO of eHealth Saskatchewan, says the error has been corrected and measures have been put in place to prevent a reoccurrence.
She apologizes for any concern the delays may have caused patients.
The head of the health region's department of medical imaging is reminding patients that they can request test results from their doctors at any time.
