Establishing Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with British Columbia (BC) and Nova Scotia (NS)

[mtoutloff]

Description

MOUs are being established with BC and NS for the GC Notify PT Pilot Project to onboard PT services outside the COVID-19 exception. The MOU sets the terms and conditions for the pilot project at the PT-level, not for each individual service.

WHY are we building? The MOUs provide the framework for the pilot project and sets out expectations for each party involved.

WHAT are we building? An agreement for the pilot project that will help inform the longer term approach.

VALUE created by our solution The MOU will establish a framework for data collection, which will also support the longer term approach.
