The platform will also reduce paperwork, allowing staff to focus more on providing quality care. Once live in mid-2027, the $19 million project will provide real-time access to information, aiding in efficient scheduling and ensuring timely delivery of home care services to approximately 40,000 Nova Scotians. This development is part of the province’s broader strategy to improve healthcare through technological advancements, as outlined in the Action for Health plan.
