Appointments for a blood sample in Charlevoix can be made electronically since this fall.
The pandemic will have helped to accustom the population to online reservations, whether for a restaurant outing or for a dose of vaccine. The ClicSanté platform is now used to book an appointment for a blood test at La Malbaie and Baie-Saint-Paul hospitals.
Marc Bouchard, head of the medical biology department at Optilab, is at the center of the management of the laboratories affiliated with the CHUs of Quebec. Charlevoix hospital specimen collection centers are also under its management.
He indicates that this digital shift makes it easier for the population to make an appointment. In addition, the gains are major for the administrative staff. Before, you had to call and leave a message. The administrative officer had to call back, sometimes two or three times, to join the patient.
Those who prefer to continue by telephone will be able to do so. To reach the La Malbaie blood sample center, dial 418-655-1700 extension 1146. For the Baie-Saint-Paul test center, use the direct line 418-435-9129.
