Nova Scotia health-care workers are calling for a delay to the new One Person One Record system rollout due to concerns about inadequate training and potential patient safety impacts. Frontline staff in the central zone report insufficient training and fear the system's complexity could hinder patient care, citing issues like difficulty with urgent procedures and lost requisitions. The system, already implemented at the IWK, is set to expand Saturday, with officials acknowledging challenges but stating no serious patient harm has occurred.
