Please note that as the eHealth Centre of Excellence has transitioned to supporting Evidence2Practice Ontario to develop a suite of provincially standardized EMR tools, we will no longer be actively updating the following tools. However, they are still available for use and can be downloaded directly from our community portal, at no cost to you.

  Hypertension Management

The Hypertension Management tool provides the opportunity to document and analyze historical value ranges for past vitals and lab work, review various lifestyle risk factors and promote self-management. Printable handouts are integrated to provide patient education, patient/provider discussion starters, and self-management support for health behaviour change.

 

 

Developed in collaboration with CorHealth Ontario in accordance with current Hypertension Canada clinical best practice guidelines

Chronic Disease Manager

The Chronic Disease Manager decision support tool supports detection, management and treatment of diabetes and hypertension among patients in primary care.

 

The tool addresses the incidence of comorbidity and the goal is to reduce redundancies by having one central tool to document and manage multiple chronic conditions. Currently, the tool addresses Diabetes and Hypertension, with the eventual goal to include additional conditions.
