In 2021, Nova Scotia Health created two population-based networks and six service-based networks.
Population-based Networks
- Primary Health Care and Chronic Disease Management / Disease Prevention and Management
- Frailty and Elder Care Network (Older Adult Health, Frailty Identification and Management, Dignity of Risk and Delirium Education)
Service-based Networks
- Perioperative Services
- Integrated Acute and Episodic Care - including emergency medicine, acute medicine, critical care, women and children, quaternary/specialty services, pain management, ambulatory care
- Integrated Access and Flow - including the Care Coordination Centre
- Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services – Diagnostic Imaging, Pharmacy and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
- Emerging and Re-emerging Infections Network / Emerging and Re-emerging Infections Hub
- Palliative Care Network
In addition, we are working to create a network that is foundational for Nova Scotia Health as we move forward around diversity, inclusion and equity.
