New information added to MySaskHealthRecord accounts is a first in Canada. Rural and Remote Health Minister Tim McLeod says anyone with an account can now see information about upcoming surgeries including the scheduled date, the surgeon’s name, where it will be done and the status of the procedure. Accounts will also contain information from surgical procedures performed from 2018 onwards.

Patients awaiting surgery should already be able to see the information on their accounts. McLeod notes that patients can also sign up for push notifications to alert them to new information.

To register for a MySaskHealthRecord account residents need to be 14 years or older, have a valid SGI driver’s license or SGI photo ID, have an active Saskatchewan Health Services card and have an email address. Click here to learn more or to register.
