About the Opportunity

Nova Scotia Health has established a new Care Coordination Centre that will improve how we coordinate the movement of patients throughout their healthcare journey. It will use artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and patient status to provide a real-time view of access to care, patient flow, and health system resources to support decision making. It will also generate actionable insights to drive continuous improvements in how healthcare is delivered to improve the quality of patient care. The Care Coordination Centre supports teams to identify issues and find solutions together, using real-time data. This will translate into improved patient access and flow, efficient bed management and discharge planning, and more collaboration across health zones in the province. Each regional hospital across Nova Scotia Health will have a C3 Hub which as Manager of Patient and Access & Flow you will provide leadership and decision making in support of access to patient care and transitions. Patient Flow Manager will also be responsible for acute care social work.
