Accessing electronic health records

Nova Scotians can now access their health information anytime, anywhere through the YourHealthNS app.

After a successful three-month pilot project involving 15 family doctors and seven nurse practitioners across six clinics, the program has expanded electronic health records (EHR) access provincewide. During the pilot, over 13,000 patients experienced the convenience and efficiency of this digital tool.

With the YourHealthNS app, you can now:

  • View your medical history and lab results
  • Schedule and track appointments
  • Securely message your healthcare providers
  • Access important health information from the comfort of your home or on the go

This expansion represents a step towards a more connected and patient-centric healthcare system. You can download the YourHealthNS app in the app store, Nova Scotians without a mobile device can access YourHealthNS online at: https://www.yourhealthns.ca/.
