Page 2 The transactional accounting service was developed in response to a request Health and Community Services Workplace Safety Action Plan from a group of long term care members who were seeking a collective platform for this corporate function. The service is designed to free up Page 3 organizational resources and time while still allowing for the continued fi nancial management, reporting, and oversight by the organization’s senior fi nancial Agreement Signed for Two New EHS LifeFlight Helicopters management team. Municipality of Richmond County Receives Mental-Health Grant The new service was successfully piloted at a member nursing home in fall 2016 and is now available to other interested Health Association members.

Did you know that workers in these sectors are more likely to be injured on the job than any other type of worker? Accounting for 20 per cent of total assessable payroll, the health and community service sectors account for almost 30 per cent of time-loss claims to WCB Nova Scotia. That means three out of ten time-loss claims originate in these sectors. Because of the size of these sectors, the high rate of work-related injuries and illnesses, and the risk and impact on quality care outcomes, stakeholders, including employers and unions, are coming together to help bring about change. Led by AWARE –NS, the Departments of Health and Wellness, Labour and Advanced Education, and Community Services, the Nova Scotia Health Authority, IWK Health Centre, and WCB Nova Scotia are working together to develop a fi ve-year action plan to improve the occupational health and safety outcomes specifi cally for publicly-funded home care, long-term care, and community services sectors. Nova Scotia needs its care workers healthy and on the job. Knowing that these work environments are very complex, research and stakeholder engagement sessions are underway to be er understand what causes injuries and how we can work together to identify opportunities to prevent injuries from occurring. Consultations with front-line care workers and managers/supervisors were held in November and December. The sessions took place in Yarmouth, Halifax, Truro, and Sydney, and were an important fi rst step in identifying issues and opportunities that will help inform development of the Action Plan. In total, 212 people from 62 organizations participated in the sessions, with employees and management represented equally. The second phase of consultations is now ge ing started, which involves gathering feedback from diff erent points of health and community services leadership and delivery. For example, Continuing Care Council, Home Support Network, the ARC/RRC Association, Community Governed Organizations, care coordinators, and discharge planners. A survey tool has also been launched to gather more input. Maybe you weren’t able to participate in person, or maybe you a ended a session but didn’t feel comfortable voicing your thoughts - there is still time to participate and have your say! Please click here to complete the brief, 10 minute survey. We all share the same vision for a safer system, for workers, patients, clients, and residents. Through education, collaboration, and a willingness to look at things diff erently, change is possible.
