IM/IT Virtual Care Services have developed education and training resources for the use of Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health providers and administrative staff.
Virtual appointments must be registered in STAR or MEDITECH using a virtual visit code prior to the patient appointment or dictating occurring. Do not register a virtual visit using a telephone or in-person code. If you do not have a virtual visit code, contact your manager who can request a new code.
Patient resources can be found on the Nova Scotia Health public-facing website.
Group patient education is a session that involves a group of patients and/or caregivers receiving health care education virtually. Group patient education sessions may be:
Self-referred or voluntary group patient education: Health care providers are not required to register patients. Patients can choose to attend these sessions as it relates to their health and wellness.
Referred group patient education: Health care providers are required to register patients. Patients are required to attend as part of their care plan.
