Patients at Queens Family Health in Liverpool will be providing valuable input to Nova Scotia Health over the next few weeks as part of a group of people around the province with early access to their health records on the YourHealthNS app.
About 3,700 patients of the clinic can sign up and see their doctor and ER visits, medications, test results and immunization record. They must have a valid Nova Scotia health card and be 16 or over.
It’s part of a pilot project involving the Queens clinic and three others around Nova Scotia. In total, about 12,000 people are eligible to participate. The other clinics are in New Waterford, Westville and Greenwood.
Dr. Ashley Miller, the chief medical information officer with Nova Scotia Health, says it can be costly and cumbersome now for patients to get access to their own records.
