What will happen if a patient at Saskatoon City Hospital requires emergency care or acute care?
Some services have always been delivered at only one hospital, so all hospitals have had plans for transferring patients who need to go to another hospital for their care. There continues to be a variety of staff such as nurses, doctors and respiratory therapists at Saskatoon City Hospital with skills to manage emergency situations. Plans are in place to rapidly transport a patient to another hospital if they require care that is not available at City Hospital once the intensive care unit (ICU) and progressive care unit (PCU) move. The statistics indicate that once ICU, PCU and acute medicine have moved, this situation would occur approximately one to two times per month.
