News & Updates
Updated process for publishing Nova Scotia Provincial Forms in both Accuro and Med Access
To reduce clinician burden and prevent duplicate forms, the NS Department of Health & Wellness has updated the process for adding new/updated Nova Scotia Provincial forms to your EMR.
If you need a provincial form added/updated in your provincial EMR forms repository, please email your request to emrcertification@novascotia.ca . The EMR & Integrated Solutions Program will assist you in completing the process. This change ensures reduction of clinician burden providing access to the current version of forms, with optimal auto-population of form information and the removal of obsolete versions of forms.
Supporting documents have been added outlining how to effectively search for and use forms in provincial EMRs, including how to filter Nova Scotia specific forms:
Nova Scotia Provincial Guidelines & Algorithms have been added to both EMRs. Instructions on where to locate them can be found here:
