YORKTON – Last week the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) expanded the Patient Booking System to include Yorkton.

This new service offers patients the ability to book a number of lab test appointments online. The Yorkton location will continue to offer Electro Cardio Gram (ECG) services on a walk in basis.

The SHA’s Patient Booking System (PBS) expanded in March of this year offering patients the ability to book lab/ECG appointments online in Swift Current, Prince Albert, North Battleford and Moose Jaw with a plan to expand to additional communities when appropriate.

To date, about 9,500 medical test appointments have been booked through the PBS in these communities. The specific services currently available for on-line booking are for blood/urine collection, ECG (where available) and glucose tolerance tests.
