On April 1, Nova Scotia Health launched the Compass, a new SharePoint-based Intranet that has replaced the old platform. Now the default homepage on Nova Scotia Health devices, the Compass is mobile-friendly and has a modern layout.
The Compass brings some changes, including the removal of some familiar homepage quick links. In the past few days, we've heard valuable feedback from clinical staff that we have taken into account, we deeply appreciate team members bringing these concerns to our attention, and below we will lay out where the most common items now live for ease of the transition.
The “green tiles” have been removed for a cleaner layout, but the content is still available for a short summary see the below list:

Next, we'll go through a few of the key items you typically access from this list.
Clinical and Non-Clinical Applications
The title is the same, and the button to the section can be found in the largest part of the Hero (the Hero is the group of buttons with images on the front page of the Intranet).
Within this area, Clinical Applications has a button, head there for an alphabetical list of all clinical applications.
To get to the ERIN Hub, OPOR, C3, SAFER-f, System Accountability and other Projects and Major Initiatives
Head to the Major Projects and Initiatives button in the right-hand corner of the Hero.
All major projects and initiatives are labeled accordingly within this page, but we've highlighted the ERIN Hub as an example.
Nova Scotia Health recommends bookmarking your frequently accessed pages using the Favorites feature in Internet Explorer or Edge.
