🚨 PATIENT SAFETY ALERT 🚨

Ontario doctors are being flooded with partial lab reports from LifeLabs’ new system. Instead of one clear final report, we now get multiple fragmented versions clogging our EMR inboxes (TELUS PS Suite).

This isn’t just extra admin work — it’s a patient safety risk. When 10+ versions of the same report pile up, it becomes dangerously easy to miss what’s new and clinically urgent.

LifeLabs + TELUS Health: fix this NOW.
👉 Stop pushing partial reports or give us the choice of final reports only.
👉 TELUS: adjust your feeds — don’t leave doctors holding the bag.

Doctors weren’t consulted. Patients deserve better. We need action immediately.
