- Chronic Disease Electronic Management System (CDEMS)
www.cdems.com
The CDEMS is a registry program for better management of chronic health conditions developed by the Washington Department of Health with funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As public domain software, users may freely make changes to the program. CDEMS is pre-coded to track diabetes and adult preventive health but is customizable to change those tracking measures or define measures for monitoring other chronic conditions. Printed progress notes, patient lists, and summary reports generated from the registry database can alter the way services are delivered and measure quality improvement efforts.
