Outpatient lab services at the Cypress Regional Hospital is now back in full operation today after having been shut down since Monday.

A computer issue was blamed as the primary source of the shutdown, but the Cypress Health Region's Director of Communications Bryce Martin says the problem was resolved during overnight hours last night.

 

As for catching up on patients that may have missed out on lab services as a result of the recent outage, Martin says staff are prepared to process as many patients as they efficiently can over the coming days

 

Meanwhile, he points out the computer problems affected not only our local region, but hospitals in several other regions of the province.
