Nova Scotia to Improve Revenue Management Processes with Infor

New “One Person One Record” program prioritizes the modernization of information systems with Infor Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management application

NEW YORK – Jan. 23, 2024 – Infor^®, the industry cloud company, today announced that Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health have selected the Infor Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management application to help meet the goals of its digital transformation program, One Person One Record (OPOR). This major program will replace health information systems used throughout the province of Nova Scotia with a new clinical information system. As part of the transformation, key Infor applications will be used to modernize and unify disparate patient accounting and billing systems.

“During our selection process, Infor demonstrated its understanding of the vision and strategic direction of One Person One Record, and how billing systems are part of the overall transformation,” said Scott McKenna, chief information officer, Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health. “This technology will consolidate and streamline client and patient billing, payments, and follow-up for cases such as out-of-country patients or uninsured patients.”
