The Nova Scotia Drug Information System (DIS) is a province-wide system, launched in 2013, that contains a comprehensive medication profile for everyone who gets a prescription filled in a community pharmacy in Nova Scotia. Ensuring access to a patient’s medication profile when and where it is needed allows healthcare providers to make better patient care decisions.
The DIS is conducting a formal evaluation with system users to assess the system’s effectiveness and identify areas for improvement
