eHR Viewer – Your Source for Critical Patient Information
Access to timely patient information is critical for clinicians across the health-care system, particularly now as we mobilize to manage the pandemic. One of the foundational pieces of the Digital Health strategy is improving information flow to clinicians. In support of that goal, Digital Health has collaborated with eHealth Saskatchewan to develop a new streamlined approval process that will facilitate all eligible providers to gain access to the provincial eHR Viewer.
The provincial eHR Viewer provides access to the following information for all patients in Saskatchewan:
- Lab results – including COVID swab results;
- Medical Imaging Reports;
- ED MD Assessment (physician documentation of an ED visit);
- Transcribed documents from the provincial dictation service;
- Immunization information;
- Prescription information; and
- Patient demographics and visit history.
Every former region had different approval processes and policies. Going forward, staff who fall under one of the approved roles can simply be directed to the eHR Viewer website and apply for an account.
NOTE: Staff must apply using their SHA email address. Staff must identify their role and must choose SKHEALTH as their organization. Choosing any other organization will direct the request through the former regional approval process and will cause delays in gaining access.
Instructions on how to apply for an account can be found below. There is a tab embedded within Sunrise Clinical Manager (SCM) that allows quick access to the Viewer. Instructions on how to use the SCM tab are found below.

- RN/RPN

Please note that the purpose of this account is to provide access to critical information for patients under your care. The account is not intended for you to use to review your own information or that of your family.
If you want access to your own health information, you will need to apply for a MySaskHealthRecord on the eHealth Saskatchewan website.
