Nova Scotia health app provides access to X-ray reports
X-ray reports completed from now on will be available through the YourHealthNS app after 14 days. In a news release, the province said the report includes findings from the X-ray, a comparison with previous X-rays, patient history and a summary.
YourHealthNS app launched late last year
A Nova Scotia health app that was launched late last year can now give patients access to X-ray reports.
From now on, people will be able to view their report on the YourHealthNS app 14 days after their X-ray.
In a news release, Nova Scotia Health and Wellness said the reports include findings from the X-ray, a comparison with previous X-rays, the patient’s history and a summary.
Images will not be available.
Previously the app only showed some details about X-rays, including the date, time, location and body part that was scanned.
Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson said in the release that access to X-ray reports is “just the beginning” and that more health records and information will be coming to the app.
According to the province, more than 600,000 X-rays were performed in Nova Scotia in 2023.
