Since launching Dynamic Health last month, the collaborative team from Interprofessional Practice and Learning (IPPL), Policy, and Library Services have reviewed and aligned almost 500 skills with the help of health care team members across Nova Scotia Health. We want to thank all those who’ve been a partner in this work to date! Working together on this knowledge-sharing project ensures that our health care teams are engaged in evidence day to day and have access to reliable guidance in one place.

Learn more about Dynamic Health in our support subject guide or engage with the team about any questions or opportunities by emailing DynamicHealth@nshealth.ca! Find a skill you think needs a review, edit or note? Fill out our Suggestions for Skills form.

Front-line Superuser Training Added for March 21st!

We’ve had such a great response for our first Front-line Superuser Training event, we’ll be hosting another event March 21st at 1pm to accommodate those registered on our waitlist. Register here to attend the online Teams meeting that will help you get started with using Dynamic Health in your clinical area. Please note: If you attended the Interprofessional Practice and Learning superuser training for Clinical Nurse Educators held earlier in February you do not need to attend this session. Similar content will be delivered.

Suggested Citation Formats

You asked how we recommend citing content from Dynamic Health, so we’re answering! When citing content from a Dynamic Health section (Diseases & Conditions, Signs & Symptoms, Tests & Labs, Care Interventions, Skills, Drug Guide, Patient Handouts, etc.) use Dynamic Health as the Author, and the section topic as the Title. Ebsco Industries is the Publisher.

When citing content from a Nova Scotia Health Workplace Note on a Dynamic Health Skill, use Nova Scotia Health as the Author and cite the date the note was last updated. Add “A note from your workplace on” then the Title of skill, italicized. Follow with the Source “In Dynamic Health.”, then add the Publisher, “Ebsco Industries”. Add the date you retrieved the note and the URL for the skill at the end.
