Lab & X-Ray
On May 28, 2019 representatives from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan came to the Athabasca Health Facility in Stony Rapids and inspected the Lab as part of our Lab Accreditation process. This inspection consisted of reviewing policies and procedures as it applies to the lab as well as interviewing lab staff as well physicians, nursing, and management. We are pleased to advise that we passed and we are accredited for another four years.
We are still in the research phase with the University of Saskatchewan with the telerobotic ultrasound machine. When the machine is fully functional we are able to complete four ultrasounds every second week. This equipment allows the facility to perform remote ultrasounds with the assistance of ultrasound techs in Saskatoon. This decreases the cost of travel for patients requiring this test, which also allows for a much faster turnaround time.
We are in the process of replacing our aging X-Ray machine as it is the original machine that was installed when the hospital was built over 17 years ago. We hope to have the new machine in place in the Fall of 2020.
