Nova Scotia's Continuing Care program uses this report so the attending physician or nurse practitioner can tell a long-term care facility that a medically stable patient is medically suitable for admission. It complements the Care Coordinator's functional assessment. Facilities require it before admission, and it must be no more than 90 days old on the day the patient is admitted.
The patient's attending physician or nurse practitioner completes and signs the whole report, including whether they are the primary care provider and whether that provider will follow the patient after admission. The Care Coordinator completes the separate functional assessment.

It must not be older than 90 days when the patient is admitted to the long-term care facility, and facilities require it before admission. If the patient's condition changes significantly before admission, in a way that would affect the care plan, the attending physician or nurse practitioner must update it regardless of its age.
Yes. The form is to be completed by the patient's attending qualified medical practitioner or nurse practitioner, for patients who are medically stable. It also asks whether you are the patient's primary care provider and whether that provider will keep following the patient after the move to long-term care.
The physician's office directs the patient to call Continuing Care. A Care Coordinator assesses the patient's needs and explores options such as Home Care first. Patients assessed as ready for long-term care are wait-listed by the date of their assessment, and the Medical Status Report gives the facility the medical side of the picture.
