Chronic Illness

Please see the "Live Well" page, under this program directory at http://www.suncountry.sk.ca/service/125/88/live-welltm-with-chronic-conditions.html

Sun Country Health Region has available a Chronic Disease Management Toolkit – a system that helps manage Chronic Disease Management patients!

The Saskatchewan Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Toolkit is a secure, web-based registry and decision support tool that is designed to assist health care providers in tracking patients with depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes +/-, hepatitis C, hypertension/CVD/CKD prevention, kidney and prevention. 

The CDM toolkit also has the ability to import data from approved vendor Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). 

The Toolkit is a valuable resource and is particularly useful for practices not equipped with electronic medical record systems.  It helps practices and programs follow clinical guidelines for chronic conditions, complete patient flowsheets, generate a list of patients who need to be recalled for an office visit, generate clinical and administrative reports crucial to optimize patient care, share information within the circle of care, and monitor population outcomes. 

In SCHR,  Radville Medical Clinic, Lampman Health Centre, Maryfield Health Centre and Carlyle Primary Health Clinic are presently utilizing the CDM toolkit to monitor their CDM patients. The toolkit was originally created for the Health Quality Council CDMC 1 collaborative to facilitate quality improvements in diabetes and coronary artery disease, within a number of identified care facilities, practices and primary health care sites. 

The toolkit has now been opened up to providers who are not part of the HQC Collaboratives.
