Canadians are reporting increased moderate to severe anxiety and feelings of depression since the start of the pandemic. With more people seeking help for their mental health needs, clinicians need easy access to point-of-care tools that reflect the most up-to-date and relevant evidence.
E2P’s EMR-integrated Anxiety Disorders and Depression tool for TELUS PS Suite, OSCAR Pro, and Accuro QHR supports primary care by giving them easier access to the information they need at the point of care.
Tool Features
Practical assistance for screening and
assessment: Surfaces evidence-based guidance to assist clinicians in screening patients with risk factors for anxiety or depression and provides a practical approach to completing a comprehensive assessment.
Optimized guidance on management: Supports the use of a stepped approach with the identification of first-line therapies in alignment with patient factors and streamlines the navigation of available services and supports.
Supports for patient self-management: Contains a patient and caregiver-facing printable component that clearly outlines the management approach and connects them to accessible resources and supports, both locally and virtually.
