REGINA – The Saskatchewan government has stepped in to help three Regina doctors who were having problems getting their patients’ digital medical records from the clinic where they used to work.

The office manager at the Gateway Alliance Medical Clinic says efforts to get the electronic records from the Midway Walk-in Healthcare Centre had been ongoing for two months.

Robin Anderson says Midway transferred paper files as required by Saskatchewan law, but not the digital records.

Yesterday, Max Hendricks, associate deputy minister of health, contacted Midway owner Sam Khan, who subsequently agreed to release the digital records within 24 hours.
