Nova Scotia Health teams up with EY to create better healthcare solutions
Canadian healthcare provider Nova Scotia Health has been working closely with leading global consulting firm , EY , to use data and insights to better serve its clientele .
“ We ’ ve been working collaboratively with Nova Scotia Health , supporting them through their ambitious digital transformation agenda ,” says Steven Maynard , EY Canada Government & Public Sector Consulting Leader . “ Having worked with others on similar journeys , both across Canada and around the world , we know how increasingly important data – and making insights consumable to clinicians – has become to improving overall outcomes in healthcare .”
In addition to its digital transformation , the organisation has restructured to evolve over the years . Prior to 2015 , it was composed of nine separate district health authorities .
“ Nova Scotia Health is now the single provincial health authority covering the entire population of the province ,” says Matthew Murphy , Senior Director , Strategy and Performance and Chief Data Officer at Nova Scotia Health . “ We provide care across the entire spectrum from public and primary health care to acute care , as well as long-term and continuing care .”
Unlike other for-profit public healthcare systems around the world , Canadian healthcare operates under a single-payer , publicly-funded system , with each province administering healthcare in alignment with the Canadian Health Act , and Nova Scotia Health is no different . technologymagazine . com 215
