Doctors Manitoba prescribes urgent upgrade for antiquated patient-referral system
Manitoba family doctors say it's time to speed up the process of patient referrals to specialists by replacing fax machines and snail mail with a co-ordinated electronic system. This fall, Doctors Manitoba is holding a summit with referring and consulting doctors, government and regulators to discuss making the referral system more efficient and eliminate delays and bottlenecks. 'I have more patients than I can count over my career that have missed specialized appointments or diagnostics because of the vulnerability of that system,' said Doctors Manitoba president Dr. Nichelle Desilets. There are approximately a half-million specialist consultations in Manitoba annually — almost all of which are initiated by referral sent by fax or mail in a siloed system not designed for effective collaboration, says Desilets' organization, which advocates for physicians in the province. A Statistics Canada report this week shows about 60 per cent of Manitobans wait up to three months to see a medical specialist once they've been referred by another doctor, and about seven per cent wait a year or longer. It also shows that less than half of Manitoba patients are satisfied with wait times. Retired FedEx delivery driver Jonathan Green was told last fall that he would have to wait a year for a consultation with a surgeon to look at his torn rotator cuff. 'If it's going to take at least a year just to see the surgeon, God only knows how long it's going to take for them to even say, 'Hey, we've got a surgery date for you,'' said Green, who decided to pay out of pocket and had the surgery done in Mexico last April. 'Had I waited to get this done here in Manitoba — and I'm being quite literal when I say this — I'd probably be dead before that happens.' He said he reached out to former radio announcer and acquaintance Dez Daniels, who faced an excruciating wait for hip-replacement surgery and in 2022 opted to pay for the operation in Mexico. She referred Green to that surgeon. He said he paid roughly $13,000 for the surgery, airfare and accommodations and said he hopes to recover some of that from the province. Modernizing the referral system to make it more efficient and interconnected will give specialists more time to focus on patients, improving health care and reducing waits, Desilets said. 'Had I waited to get this done here in Manitoba — and I'm being quite literal when I say this — I'd probably be dead before that happens.'–Jonathan Green 'This sounds like a behind-the-scenes, IT issue but, really, it has the potential to touch so many areas of our health-care system,' she said in an interview earlier this week. 'Specialists tell us that they're using up to the equivalent of one work week on referral processing per year,' she said. 'Any improvements in the referral and requisition processes not only stand to improve the work environment of physicians, patients are going to benefit, as well.' Having a system that's easy to navigate and reduces the administrative burden will help with physician recruitment and retention, she said. Doctors pick up the phone to call a specialist when a patient has an emergent issue, but most cases aren't emergencies, she said. Most often, a doctor writes a referral to a specialist, 'usually old-fashioned fax.' Once sent, the referral might sit in the fax machine tray or the clinician's inbox until they get to it, she said, adding machine paper jams and power failures in which the unit's memory is lost are problems, as well. When doctors request a CT scan, 'there's thousands of pieces of paper coming through on that other end in the CT department that they have to manage, as well… There's multiple steps where a small unintentional slip-up could lead to that patient not getting their CT scan in the appropriate, urgent timeline,' she said. Patient referrals by regular mail can be affected by Canada Post service disruptions and mailings sent to old addresses, Desilets said. 'There's definitely people missing appointments and that's a waste of health-care resources,' she said. 'There's definitely people missing appointments and that's a waste of health-care resources.'–Dr. Nichelle Desilets Wednesdays A weekly dispatch from the head of the Free Press newsroom. 'I feel really passionate about the referral and requisition improvements because I'm a family doctor, so I'm often sending the referrals. But, as someone who does colonoscopies and does (caesarean) sections for people who need to deliver their babies that way, I get referrals. 'I see it from both sides. I have been contacted by my colleagues saying, 'Did you get my note asking for a colonoscopy on this patient?' And I will go through it and say, 'nope, never got it.' And so that person waited unnecessarily.' Desilets said if she's referring a patient with a non-life threatening condition, she'll ask them to let her know if they haven't received a response from the specialist after three months. 'Until the patient gets that appointment, I don't know that that referral has been processed yet. It might still be sitting in an inbox. It might have been lost altogether,' she said. 'There are opportunities for large, unnecessary time lags just due to the nature of how this work is done.'

Big campaign health-care promises, not much post-election progress
Opinion When the Manitoba NDP won a majority government in October 2023 on a campaign built almost entirely around fixing health care, they didn't promise miracles. The party and its leader, Wab Kinew, were careful not to claim the crumbling health system they inherited could be transformed overnight. But at the same time, nobody expected things to get worse. According to a new survey by the Manitoba Nurses Union, more than three-quarters of nurses say conditions on the front lines of health care have either deteriorated or stayed the same since the NDP took office. It's a stark reminder that political promises, while good for winning elections, don't necessarily translate into change for burned-out nurses or patients waiting hours in emergency rooms. This is not an opposition talking point. It's what nurses themselves are saying. The union survey paints a bleak picture: a health-care workforce that remains deeply demoralized, exhausted and unconvinced that real change is around the corner. More than half of nurses surveyed report that safety in the workplace has worsened in the past year. Many say they're still working short-staffed more often than not. And few believe the culture inside the system is improving. It's fair to ask: how long should the public — and those working in the trenches of the system — wait before judging the government's progress? No government can undo seven years of deep cuts, closures and centralization in less than two years. The previous PC government decimated parts of the health system, including ERs and surgical capacity. The Tories drove experienced staff out and failed to replenish the pipeline. Their reforms were poorly planned and unevenly executed, causing chaos that still hasn't fully settled. But Wab Kinew and the NDP knew all that when they took over. They knew they were walking into a mess. In fact, they campaigned on it and vowed to clean it up. Now that they're in charge, the responsibility is theirs. So far, though, the improvements have been hard to spot. Wait times in emergency departments are largely unchanged and, in some places, worse than they were a year ago. Primary-care access remains scarce. And while there has been a net increase in nurses working in the system since the NDP took over, it hasn't translated into lower wait times, better access to care or reduced burnout for front-line workers. Manitobans are still waiting — literally — for the core promises of the 2023 election to materialize: shorter waits, more staff and better care. And make no mistake, public patience has limits. The political honeymoon the NDP has enjoyed since taking office is already starting to fray. The MNU survey is just one piece of evidence. Anecdotally, stories continue to pour in of long waits for surgeries, patients being treated in hallways and family doctors in short supply. One problem is that the government hasn't clearly communicated timelines or benchmarks for improvement. What does 'fixing health care' look like? When can patients expect shorter ER waits? How many nurses need to be hired before shifts are fully staffed? The lack of specifics makes it hard to measure progress and easier for the public to lose confidence. The NDP needs to start setting clear, measurable goals. Not vague commitments or long-term visions, but short- and medium-term targets that give patients and front-line workers hope that things are moving in the right direction. That should include timelines for staff recruitment, reductions in wait times and improved working conditions. Let people track the results. It also means the government must move beyond platitudes and planning to actual implementation. If wage issues are still discouraging nurses from picking up extra shifts, fix them. If violence in hospitals is rising, then get serious about security and staff safety. Stop studying the problem and start acting on what front-line workers already know. It's also time to stop blaming the past. Yes, the PCs left a disaster behind. But the NDP ran on the idea that they were the ones to clean it up. If they didn't anticipate how deep the damage went, that's on them. Health care is a long game. But it's not an infinite one. Voters are willing to wait for real improvements, but only if they believe progress is being made. Right now, that belief is fading. The government has time. But not forever. By this time next year, if wait times haven't dropped and nurses still say the workplace is as toxic as it is today, the Kinew government will have a real problem on its hands — and no one left to blame. Because when you promise to fix health care, people expect you to fix it. Not just say you're trying.
