If you are still having trouble reaching the site, you may have your browser's security settings set to strip away all information about which website you last visited.

American Spelling

The Healthwise® Knowledgebase currently uses American spelling for some content. Saskatchewan Health, Healthwise Incorporated and health professionals in Saskatchewan continue to review and modify the Knowledgebase to reflect Canadian spelling conventions.

When using the Search function, please keep this in mind as some terms may still reflect American spelling. For example, a search for "orthopaedist" will return no matches for the enquiry; whereas using the American spelling "orthopedist" returns several matches.

Tip: Use the Alpha list in the Knowledgebase to assist you if your search results in No Matches. Using the above example, select "O" and then "OR" in the Alpha list and scroll down until you reach Orthopedic. For a full listing of the topics available, you now have the spelling that you can enter into the search filed.
