**NEW** Home Oxygen Online Training Course
 

We are so excited to announce that Home Oxygen Tester Training has transitioned to an online, independent-learning module that can be taken anytime.

Anyone can take the course for 2 HOURS of continuing education credit but, as always, only Saskatchewan Health Authority employees will receive home oxygen tester numbers and certification.

If you are a current tester, you can recertify by completing this online course.

Please contact oxygentest@lungsask.ca if you have questions or feedback.

Home Oxygen Test Results

Just a little reminder regarding SAIL results from the Nellcor PM10N device (maybe other devices too):

Please download data as Excel files vs graphs. Graphs are difficult to read, and especially hard to read via fax.

Ensure that the patient name, DOB, HSN, test time, and tester name and number are always included with the results.

Home Oxygen Working Group

A provincial working group for home oxygen is in its early stages.

The working group's intention is to bring people together across SK to connect over concerns or successes experienced in home oxygen. The end goal is improved communication and a more streamlined process for home oxygen testing and funding, focusing on patient-centered care. 

If you are interested in joining these quarterly meetings, email jaimie.peters@lungsask.ca
