Heart failure is one of the five leading causes of hospitalization and 30-day readmissions, and the most common cause of hospitalization for people over age 65. Appropriate care can improve a patient’s quality of life and help with symptom management.
E2P’s EMR-integrated Heart Failure 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
Increased support for investigations into heart failure diagnosis: Evidence-based guidance to assist clinicians with identifying, tracking, and supporting at-risk patients.
Increased support for medication plan management: Easy access to information for clinicians to reference, with picklists to facilitate appropriate medication selection, built-in notification flags to have medication changed if the patient’s condition is worsening, and more.
Improved patient care planning & connection to self-management supports: The tool 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.

“This tool will help you to ensure that you are up to date with the way that this disease is identified, diagnosed, treated, and monitored. It’s going to make you much more confident about how well you’re managing this patient – and not just more confident, but I think more pleased with how you’re doing it.”
