REAL-TIME SCREENING AND POINT-OF-CARE KNOWLEDGE MOBILISATION
Product HealthCheckPlus is implemented on a secure touch screen kiosk, desktop computer or PDA (e.g., Blackberry) that can be positioned in either the clinic waiting room or in examination rooms as desired. Patients complete the screening tool in the physician's office in approximately five to 10 minutes. Upon completion of the screening survey, the system immediately generates and prints a one-page report on a dedicated or networked computer. In addition to routine screening, HealthCheckPlus offers the built-in capacity to assess patient care, improve the utilization of and familiarity with treatment guidelines, as well as monitor clinic needs and enhance clinical decision making. Clinical practice guidelines, advisories and warnings, information sheets, or self-management recommendations for patients, can be printed on-demand or keyed to the symptom profile identified through screening. Purpose HealthCheckPlus was designed to facilitate real-time health screening and knowledge mobilization in a primary care setting in a manner that adds no additional burden to physicians' time. The system can be customized to deliver any type of questionnaire or screening tool. Our standard screening tools can be delivered in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. HealthCheckPlus can also be used to facilitate self-study or evaluate a range of patient care experiences (e.g., access, quality of care, stigma, etc.) either on-site or post-visit through a secure link to a follow-up questionnaire. Quarterly reports summarizing the difficulties of patients reported in your clinic can be easily generated by age, gender, or treating physician as required. Background HealthCheckPlus is being developed and implemented by researchers at the University of Ottawa, the Centre, Dalhousie University, Queen’s University and the University of Auckland.
