The Saskatchewan NDP is sharing a leaked Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) memo revealing further issues with its costly new payment and scheduling software.
Saskatchewan NDP leader Carla Beck and health-care critic Vicki Mowat held a news conference Wednesday to underscore the ongoing issues with the administrative information management system (AIMS).
In the memo, the SHA acknowledged some doctors weren’t being paid on time, which it attributed to “process changes” related to AIMS.
“Paying invoices correctly on time is an important priority for us. Moving to one provincial system will allow us to standardize and regularize invoicing procedures and payment timing across the province. We thank you for your patience and understanding as the teams work through these system changes.”
The SHA said a task force is working to resolve the issues.
“Our finance colleagues have been working tirelessly to troubleshoot the issues that caused this unexpected situation.”
