The province is encouraging its healthcare workers and those in jobs linked to healthcare to offer their ideas for improving the system.
It has launched a contest where their suggestions could net a $1,000 cash prize.
The contest, called the Healthcare Improvement Challenge starts today and runs until November 22nd. Eligible participants can submit one or more common sense ideas with a focus on improving healthcare.
Ideas should be simple and easy to implement with little or no funding. Eligible submissions will be entered into a random draw for up to 50 prizes of $1,000.
From all the eligible submissions received, 20 ideas will be shortlisted by a review panel and Nova Scotians can vote for their top 10. Those top 10 ideas will be considered priorities, and the province will work to implement them, where feasible.
