Winnipeg hospitals are getting a technology upgrade aimed at helping health authorities track more patient-flow information in real-time.
The $125,000 upgrades include use of a platform known as SHREWD, which will be rolled out at city hospitals and health centres, including Misericordia, Deer Lodge and Riverview, this spring.
Shared Health and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority made the announcement Thursday.
“The platform includes a built-in notification system which will then be used by managers and leaders to support operational decisions in real-time to address patient flow, staffing challenges and emergency and urgent care wait times,” a news release stated.
Overall, emergency wait times, length of stay in the ER for patients waiting to be admitted, and the rate of patients who left without being seen all increased in January, while ER patient volumes held steady compared with those in December.
