Ongoing staffing shortages have triggered another emergency room closure in the South Okanagan.
“Just a reminder that everybody is doing their best and we also have to look after the caregivers and well-being, when we’re stretching a physician or a paramedic or nurse to work extra shifts when there’s shortages,” said“This is why we got into this, to care for people so they’re not taking this lightly, closing, and I think it’s important to remind that everybody’s trying to do their best but we can only do so much with the numbers we have.
“And if they get discharged, there are more logistics and challenges for them to get back to their communities, should they not require an ambulance. So, there’s a whole bunch of pressures, that are put on the system, that has the very potential for impacting patient outcomes.”In a news release, Interior Health says the closure in Keremeos is due to unexpected limited nursing availability. The health authority was unavailable for an interview.
“This will support healthcare workers to provide services to patients and help patients access the services they need as we continue to build out team-based care across the healthcare system.”The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia , in consultation with the Ministry of Health, has posted the proposal.The public now has seven days to weigh in online with the CPSBC and if approved, physician assistants could work in ERs under the direction of physicians.
