Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system will begin rolling out on May 9 at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Services programs.

During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.

You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
