Rebranding – Clinical Document Development

Clinical Form and Patient Education and Information Materials Rebranding

Saskatchewan Health Authority Clinical Standards team is taking the next steps in provincial standardization of clinical forms, moving away from former Health Region logo application.

This work will be done through a phase approach, with the first phase focused on replacement of former Health Region logos and identifiers with the appropriate SHA logo or identifier.

Document Owner Instructions

1.  Inventory Capture - Complete by March 14, 2025

Identify all patient facing forms and documents requiring SHA rebranding and report the total number of documents to be rebranded to clinicalstandards@saskhealthauthority.ca by March 14.  Recognize this number may change as the work progresses. 

2.  Rebrand Forms

A.  Provincial Forms

For provincially standardized forms and patient education materials, ensure these have the SHA logo. More information, including templates, on creating provincial standardize clinical forms, patient education and clinical materials is found under Clinical Standards – Clinical Document Development.

B.  Local Materials Based on Former Regional Health Authority (fRHA) Areas

1. Determine the appropriate geographic labelling.

a.  Integrated Service Area (ISA) - more than one area may be included to cover the former region

  • Regina Area
  • Saskatoon Area
  • Northwest
  • Northeast
  • Southwest
  • Southeast

 b.  Network(s) - more than one network may be included to cover the former region.

c.  Town/City - only use this option if the document truly is only applicable to a specific town or city.

d.  Site/Facility - only use this option if the document truly is only applicable to a specific site or facility.

2.  Review the space available on the form or document and determine rebranding application. 

a.  Form has both fRHA Logo and fRHA Name in Header or Footer

  • Update header and footers with the appropriate geographical label.
  • Replace fRHA logo with SHA Logo with Identifier - see below for logo and instructions to update with your chosen identifier.
  • Ensure the clear zone to the nearest left/right margin is equal in height or width or the cross in the province symbol

  • If there is no room for the SHA Logo with Identifier, then replace the logo with the SHA logo only.
    • Ensure the logo is at least 1.5" wide by 0.39" high and has a clear zone around it that is equal to the height or width of the cross in the province symbol. 
  • If the SHA logo is already on the document and the former Health Region identified in the footer, these forms do not require rebranding.

b.  Form only had room for a logo ONLY.  There is not header or footer. 

  • Replace fRHA logo with SHA Logo with Identifier and follow instructions within to update with your chosen geographical identifier.
    • Ensure the clear zone to the nearest left/right margin is equal to the height or width of the cross in the province symbol.

c. Form has no room for a logo

  • Replace former health region name with appropriate geographic label.

3.  Send rebranded form or document (editable version) to SHAProvincialForms@saskhealthauthority.ca to be added to the provincial repository.  Please keep the source document for your records and processes as well.

Phase 2 - Consolidation and Standardization of Clinical Forms

Phase 2 will follow in the coming months, with SHA Clinical Standards reviewing documents in collaboration with document owners, and a consolidation plan will be developed to reduce the overall number of area specific forms to support provincial standardization where possible.
