10 mars 2025 (Oakville, ON) – The CAN Health Network is proud to partner with Evidence at the Point-of-Care (EAPOC), a Canadian company that develops point-of-care chronic disease computerized decision support systems. EAPOC’s flagship product, the Electronic Asthma Management System (eAMS) provides personalized asthma guidance for both patients and health care providers.
L'asthme reste un défi majeur en matière de santé au Canada, touchant plus de 3,8 millions de personnes et entraînant plus de 150 000 visites aux urgences chaque année. Malgré la disponibilité de traitements efficaces, environ 90 % des Canadiens asthmatiques ne parviennent pas à bien contrôler leur maladie, ce qui entraîne une diminution de leur qualité de vie, une utilisation accrue des services de santé et une charge économique importante*.
Developed by EAPOC, the eAMS is a digital health solution that enhances asthma care by integrating a patient portal and clinical decision support system into existing primary care and pharmacy electronic medical record systems (EMRs). Patients complete an online or mobile questionnaire about their symptoms and medications, which is analyzed by computerized algorithms to generate personalized recommendations based on the latest medical guidelines.
The system auto-generates asthma control level, medication adjustment recommendations, a personalized self-management asthma action plan, and a prompt to refer to specialty care in cases of severe asthma, and presents this to the provider in their existing workflow. Once approved, the action plan is uploaded to the portal, ensuring that patients have continuous access to their tailored asthma management plan.
Through its partnership with the CAN Health Network, Unity Health Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital Academic Family Health Team (one of the largest family health teams in Ontario) has become the latest site to offer EAPOC’s eAMS technology to its primary care patients and providers. This initiative aims to empower both patients and providers with the latest evidence-based guidance, in order to bridge prevalent gaps in asthma care and thereby improve patient outcomes.
