Nova Scotia Health is transforming primary health care to ensure every Nova Scotian has access to the right care, at the right time, in the right place, by the right provider.
Primary health care and chronic disease management is led by operational teams in each Zone and supported by the Primary Health Care and Chronic Disease Management Network. Our work is guided by core system principles and strategic aims, including enhancing attachment to care, integration of services, and supporting a high-performing, well-resourced workforce.
As leaders in care, physicians play a critical role in this transformation journey by supporting patients to live well, increase Nova Scotians access to quality primary health care and work with interdisciplinary teams to improve health outcomes across the province.
This Primary Health Care and Chronic Disease Management (PHC-CDM) section of the Physician Information and Wellness Portal offers tools, resources, and system-level updates to support you in this evolving environment.
