Family claims new medical records system contributed to baby’s death

A Musquodoboit, N.S., woman, Cassidy Horne, believes her unborn daughter’s death could have been prevented due to issues with the new One Person One Record (OPOR) health records system. An urgent ultrasound referral was lost after the OPOR system’s launch, resulting in Horne discovering her baby had died just before a scheduled ultrasound. The family is considering legal action, citing gaps in communication and care, while the IWK Health Centre has acknowledged concerns regarding the system’s rollout and is reviewing patient care protocols.
