Doctors can now access simple and useful PSP screening and diagnostic tools in their EMRs. PSP has partnered with EMR vendors to provide clinical, patient, and community resources. These specialized tools help improve identification of patients with often under-diagnosed conditions such as chronic pain, adult mental health, child and youth mental health, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. The free EMR tools make ongoing patient care easier by linking to patient registries, which simplifies the scheduling of recall appointments and periodic testing. As well, these tools help document the care provided to patients, which supports billing requirements for eligible GPSC incentive fees. For more information, visit www.pspbc.ca.
