The Electronic Asthma Management System (eAMS)
Description: The eAMS engages patients with asthma to complete a pre-visit questionnaire through a web portal or app and processes this information to give providers guideline-based advice to optimize therapy, personalized to each individual patient, through easy-to-use prompts built into their electronic medical record system. The eAMS also creates a self-management asthma action plan, which patients can access through their app or web portal anytime, anywhere. This empowers patients to self-manage their asthma, improving their symptoms and helping them to avoid asthma flare-ups and urgent healthcare visits.
Pan-Canadian Asthma and COPD Standards (PRESTINE)
Description: The Pan-Canadian Asthma and COPD Standards are an evidence-based set of recommended data elements and standardized data definitions for use in primary care electronic health records/electronic medical records in Canada.
