Manitoba is launching a critical incident review after a man died while waiting eight hours in a Winnipeg emergency department. Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara says the review will look at what happened after the man was brought by ambulance to the Health Sciences Centre early Tuesday morning. Hospital officials said the middle-aged man was triaged as low-acuity, checked on again, and his condition later deteriorated. Asagwara says the review’s findings will be shared and the government will enact any changes needed to prevent similar deaths.
The Manitoba government says a review is being launched into the death of a man who waited eight hours in a Winnipeg emergency department, but it’s not clear how much of the review will be made public.
A critical incident review – a type of investigation that includes some confidentiality and that does not result in a full public report – is being launched. “I’ve taken the step as minister to immediately ensure that this is treated as a critical incident. That work is under way,” Asagwara said. Although Sinclair spoke to a triage aide when he arrived, he was never formally entered into the hospital’s system.
