The Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health information has identified a glitch in its system that failed to transfer information to attending physicians.

Health Minister John Haggie during a news briefing on Monday at Confederation Building said 615 patients’ electronic medical results didn’t get transferred due to a glitch in the TELUS Health’s Medical Access System.

Haggie said he has been assured by TELUS Health the glitch has been fixed.

No critical care to any of the patients was delayed as checks in the system allowed the information to reach the physicians, the province insists.
