The crisis may be at an end for now but the problem overcrowding at Regina hospitals is far from a final solution.

The Regina General Hospital has had only three days in 2012 where they haven't been over capacity. Michael Redenbach with the health unit added that the Pasqua Hospital has only had 14 days of relief.

“I don’t think we are prepared to say that it’s the new norm,” Redenbach said. “When I tell you the numbers now they are not where we want them to be but they are much better than when we hit that critical spot.”

The health region is focusing on a variety of ways to move people through the system faster.

“We are doing some of them right now and we are optimistic that we will have some success over the next six months or so,” Redenbach explained.

The health region is looking at new management software as one part of the plan. If they still don’t see a positive impact after making several changes, then they will have to review the system but Redenbach said they are not at that stage yet.

The occupancy today is between 110 and 118 per cent which is under the crisis level of 134 percent hit last month.
