Medworxx announces the Province of Nova Scotia Department of Health will launch a Provincial Nursing Education Portal on the Medworxx software platform
TORONTO April, 2008 – Medworxx, the makers of a strategic software platform that hospitals use to communicate, aggregate, and analyze knowledge, is pleased to announce that Nova Scotia will implement its solution across the province. The Province of Nova Scotia Department of Health will create a Provincial Nursing Education Portal using the Medworxx Learning Management System (LMS). They also intend to implement the Medworxx Content Management System (CMS) and Policy & Procedure Management solutions. These applications will be used by nurses across the province.
"This project is all about providing nurses with easy access to online educational information that will help them to provide the best level of care to patients. An e-learning solution for nursing will provide nurses with another method of obtaining access to educational content. It also helps create equity across Nova Scotia - so regardless of where you are located in the province as a nurse, you will have easy access to high quality educational information that is being developed by nurse educators throughout the province," said Sandra Cascadden, CIO, Nova Scotia Department of Health.
Medworxx’ customers use the software platform to transform information into knowledge by providing healthcare workers with access to the knowledge they need, when they need it, in order to continuously improve and provide the highest level of care. It gives hospitals and health authorities the ability to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements in real-time.
“We are excited to have the Province of Nova Scotia join the Medworxx community of customers,” said Dan Matlow, President & CEO, Medworxx. “Medworxx has proven its ability to successfully implement knowledge solutions in large scale implementations across the country, including David Thompson Health Region in Alberta, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority in Manitoba, the New Brunswick Department of Health, and the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) in Ontario. We look forward to working with the Nova Scotia Department of Health / HITS-NS to help them leverage the power of knowledge.” Medworxx is committed to excellence and optimizing hospital performance through knowledge management.
