I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturers(s) of any commercial products(s) and/or provider of commercial services discussed in this CME activity.
Why a Registry? • To track patient progress and outcomes • To manage your population of patients • To prompt you and your patients when care is needed
How can I access a registry? • Employ a paper registry • Employ a registry function in your existing EMR • Employ a separate registry • Some available for purchase • Some available at no cost
CDEMS Registry • Used by the State of Washington for QI projects • Customizable • Free of cost to the user • Our experience: • Needs some independent learning • Data MAY be importable from EMR • Requires data entry personnel/system
Our Experience With CDEM • Install software – engage IS team (1-2 weeks) • Set up protocols – (1-2 weeks) • Enter data on current patients (2-4 weeks) • Brainstorm, plan and test office systems for use • Data entry at each asthma visit
Action Steps for Practices • Discuss how registry would work for your practice • Research registry options (cost, ease of use) • Contact your state leadership team for assistance • Start early, registries take time to develop and use.
