Nova Scotia Health is implementing a new health information system to help improve how care is delivered across the province.   

IWK Health was the first to implement the system and on May 9 Nova Scotia Health began rolling out the system at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Services programs.

For the first time, patient records from IWK Health and Nova Scotia Health will be on one system, improving access to vital information for healthcare teams and patients.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
