Benefits of EMR for CDM
You cannot improve what you cannot measure• We decided to code important chronic conditions
so that we could build disease registries• We enter data consistently in the EMR so it can
be measured• We invested time and resources in
measurement and audits• All team members use the EMR• We have CDM flowsheets and templates, with
associated alerts and reminders • We use the EMR to audit and mail reminders to
patients who are overdue (diabetic, no eye exam for 2 years)

Take Home Points
• Decide and agree: which chronic conditions you would like to focus on?
• Involve everyone in your practice• Enter your data carefully and consistently• Use the features that your EMR offers• Try small steps to improve care• Measure what you did and see if it worked,
then keep going• Use what you learned in one chronic
condition to improve other conditions
Dr. Nora Curran-Blaney
• 3 Physician Family Practice – Oakville, ON– 2 physicians work concurrently – flexible
schedule
• 30 years practice experience• EMR used: Healthscreen• Remote access version• Experience using tablet computers
Practice Profile
• 1348 rostered patients• 519 over 50 yrs• Chronic Disease prevalence
– Hypertension – (400 pts.)– Obesity – BMI over 33 (100 pts.)– Diabetes Mellitus – (30-40 pts.)– Heart failure – (10 pts.)
Benefits of EMR for CDM
• Ability to develop clinical queries• Active use of a patient profile
– Hand printed copy of profile to patient
• Used of coded data display– Requires discipline of data entry for future use
• Colour coding• eFax directly from EMR• Simplification of referrals• Cancer surveillance

Take Home Points
• EMR usability is critical• Encourage patient self management
– Not yet using a patient portal
• Record information during the encounter• Patient feedback
– Most feel management is improved with EMR– Less chance for error or that information has
been forgotten– Worry about privacy and power outages
Michael Brand, Clinic ManagerAssociate Medical Centre, Taber, Ab.
• 12 Physician Family Medicine Clinic• Member of Chinook Primary Care Network• Using Wolf EMR since 2007
Practice Profile
• Approx. 18,000 patients in catchment area• Team based Care• Physician is team lead with mix of NP, RNs,
LPNs, Psychiatric RN, Psychologist, Dietician, Health Coach & MOAs
• Large Senior & “ESL” Populations• 19 bed Acute Care Hospital• 100 bed LTC Facility
Benefits of EMR for CDM
• All CDM Monitoring is managed through use of “Rules” within EMR
• Rules define a population and provide alert at Point of Care
• All Clinic Staff are tasked with dealing with relevant rules when in contact with a patient
• CDM Run charts are used to track performance over time
• Results are posted for all to see
Take Home Points
• Rules are constantly changing and evolving based on population and updates to CDM guidelines
• Patients appreciate the comprehensive level of care & develop trust in the team.
• Staff feel strong sense of accomplishment when they see positive results.
• Overall system costs decrease (ER Visits & Admissions) through comprehensive clinic based Chronic Disease Management
