Sample Surveys and Reports
NSPAR is a survey-based assessment program. There are four versions of NSPAR currently applied to physicians in Nova Scotia – a family physician version, versions for medical specialists and for surgeons, and a version for pediatric specialists. Each version uses surveys that have been designed and modified to suit the unique needs of each of the four categories of physicians. Certain practice areas are presently not eligible for NSPAR review. These include psychiatry, anesthesiology, radiology, laboratory medicine and episodic care. The program will expand to include these areas in the near future.
