Two EMR vendors (TELUS Health Solution Inc. and QHR Technologies) provide EMR solutions for Nova Scotia physicians.

TELUS Health Solutions Inc. 

TELUS Health Solutions currently markets and supports the Med Access EMR in Nova Scotia.

Med Access

Med Access is a web-based, highly configurable EMR that adapts to individual clinic and user preferences and work styles supporting ready integration into a clinical practice. Med Access is deployed across Canada with settings ranging from solo practices to medical schools to province-wide EMR collaboratives.

Telus also supports the Practimax EMR (which will no longer be supported past December 2020) and the Nightingale-on-Demand EMR, which will be fully decommissioned by December 2020.
