SHA returning AIMS employee scheduling to previous systems

In response to the challenges with the employee scheduling component of the Administrative Information Management System (AIMS) that have been raised by health-system employees, the Government of Saskatchewan has directed the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), in partnership with 3sHealth and the Ministry of Health, to return to the previous scheduling systems.

We want to sincerely thank health-system employees for their continued perseverance and dedication in adapting to the new system. We also acknowledge and apologize for the frustrations many have experienced with the scheduling component of AIMS.

This change affects approximately 7,000 employees who have been using the scheduling component in the former Kelsey Trail and Cypress health regions, as well as out-of-scope employees. The supply chain, finance, payroll, and human resources components of AIMS, which are in use by about 50,000 employees, remain stable and are not impacted by this decision.

The SHA and 3sHealth are targeting November 30 for the return to the previous scheduling systems. Employees and managers will receive direct communication and support throughout this transition to ensure they have the information they need and that service to patients and residents continues without interruption.
