Nova Scotia making waves with strong eReferral adoption
With over 40K+ eReferrals to date, and thousands now being received weekly, Nova Scotia is fast becoming the world-class example of digital health adoption in Canada! This should be no surprise considering the province’s inspiring commitment to innovation, demonstrated by the recent move to make eReferrals mandatory for surgical referrals and key diagnostic imaging pathways as of April 1, just one year after launching the program. Congratulations to everyone working on the front lines and behind the scenes who are making it happen!
