“…In order to contribute to a paper-less medical record a need was identified for electronic versions of the PCAP tools and to explore the possibility of developing an electronic outcome measurement tool as a means of assessing patient-specific outcomes. 7 One important and frequently cited patientspecific outcome is health-related quality of life (HRQOL).…”

“…Thus, we sought to quantify differences in the classification of control using CTS and GINA indices and to assess misclassification of control when spirometry is omitted in the primary care setting. 1069 METHODS Data were extracted from the electronic medical records (EMRs) of a convenience sample of sequential patients seen in asthma care programs at two Ontario primary care sites participating in a pilot study of the feasibility of incorporating an asthma care map (ACM) into primary care EMRs (18).…”

“…It aimed to reinforce the implementation of guideline-based asthma management in sites participating in the Primary Care Asthma Pilot Project (19). The ACM is currently used in the Primary Care Asthma Program (PCAP), an Asthma Plan of Action initiative of the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (18,20). The asthma control items were frequency of daytime symptoms (days per week), frequency of nighttime symptoms (awakenings), limitation of physical activity, number of doses of reliever medication per week, absences from work or school, number of exacerbations requiring acute medical care, and a measure of pulmonary function (FEV 1 ).…”

In a novel knowledge translation initiative, the Government of Ontario's Asthma Plan of Action funded the development of an Asthma Care Map to enable adherence with the Canadian Asthma Consensus Guidelines developed under the auspices of the Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS). Following its successful evaluation within the Primary Care Asthma Pilot Project, respiratory clinicians from the Asthma Research Unit, Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario) are leading an initiative to incorporate standardized Asthma Care Map data elements into electronic health records in primary care in Ontario. Acknowledging that the issue of data standards affects all respiratory conditions, and all provinces and territories, the Government of Ontario approached the CTS Respiratory Guidelines Committee. At its meeting in September 2010, the CTS Respiratory Guidelines Committee agreed that developing and standardizing respiratory data elements for electronic health records are strategically important. In follow-up to that commitment, representatives from the CTS, the Lung Association, the Government of Ontario, the National Lung Health Framework and Canada Health Infoway came together to form a planning committee. The planning committee proposed a phased approach to inform stakeholders about the issue, and engage them in the development, implementation and evaluation of a standardized dataset. An environmental scan was completed in July 2011, which identified data definitions and standards currently available for clinical variables that are likely to be included in electronic medical records in primary care for diagnosis, management and patient education related to asthma and COPD. The scan, sponsored by the Government of Ontario, includes compliance with clinical nomenclatures such as SNOMED-CT® and LOINC®. To help launch and create momentum for this initiative, a national forum was convened on October 2 and 3, 2011, in Toronto, Ontario. The forum was designed to bring together key stakeholders across the spectrum of respiratory care, including clinicians, researchers, health informaticists and administrators to explore and recommend a potential scope, approach and governance structure for this important project. The Pan-Canadian REspiratory STandards INitiative for Electronic Health Records (PRESTINE) goal is to recommend respiratory data elements and standards for use in electronic medical records across Canada that meet the needs of providers, administrators, researchers and policy makers to facilitate evidence-based clinical care, monitoring, surveillance, benchmarking and policy development. The focus initially is expected to include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary function standards elements that are applicable to many respiratory conditions. The present article summarizes the process and findings of the forum deliberations.
