The Mustimuhw Community Electronic Medical Record (cEMR)

What is the cEMR?

The Mustimuhw Community Electronic Medical Record (cEMR) is an easy-to-use, customizable software solution that supports a broad range of services and program areas within a citizens’ circle of care. This includes Community Health Nursing, Home Care, Mental Health, Child & Family services, and other unique community and paraprofessional services.

Historically, paper-based charting, as well as program-specific tools, have contributed to fragmenting the client record. The cEMR was designed to remove information silos within your organization by increasing your staff’s ability to appropriately share information, manage follow-up tasks, and communicate within and across teams.

The Mustimuhw cEMR is seen as a key foundational component to the digital footprint of most Indigenous health and human service organizations in Canada. 
Some teams may require other specialized tools, but at an organizational level the cEMR lays the groundwork for an efficient, safe and connected organization.

cEMR Functions

Charting

The cEMR comes with a number of standard charting formats, and can be customized to meet specific organizational and program requirements. Each cEMR user-type will have charting formats specific to the role(s) and duties. PDF Forms and Templates are commonly integrated into charting as an efficient means of documenting discreet data. cEMR users appreciate the ease and efficiency of having these standardized Forms and Templates readily accessible and with the ability to generate reports based on data collected through them.

f

Registries

The cEMR has custom registries to track client groups, services, and programs. Registries for chronic disease, client services (services pending, wait-listed, and receiving services), equipment-on-loan, enlisted programs, and more. Registries enable organizations to run program and service reports, identify and track specific groups, and easily communicate with those client groups, when needed.

Client & Provider Registries

The cEMR provides robust client and provider registries with key information elements typically required in Indigenous service organizations. This includes family linkages between clients as well as household makeup and history.

Standardized Problem Identification

The cEMR leverages standardized problem list functionality that is consistent with health care providers in Canada. However, we call it ‘Health Check’ as many organizations also want to track health assets and strengths, which the cEMR functionality enables them to do.

Referrals

The cEMR has robust referral functionality that enables organizations to generate and track referrals on all levels, whether they are referrals within the organization or referrals sent to or received from external organizations.

Follow-Up Management

Follow-up tasks can be generated within the cEMR, allowing users to set tasks for themselves or teammates within their organization.

Reporting

The cEMR has extensive reporting capabilities, with over 50 reports in the system, varying from operational, program-based, performance, planning, and funding reports (eSDRT, CBRT, MedTrans, etc). Its dynamic reporting capability also provides you with the ability to create custom reports for any data within the cEMR.

Group Encounters

Many services are provided in a group setting. The cEMR supports documenting group sessions in an efficient manner that both links to the individual client records of group attendees and tracks metrics for recurring group services.

Care Plans

Supporting clinic-specific practices, assessments and care planning forms within the cEMR.

e-Prescribing

PrescribeIT®, Canada’s Electronic Prescription Service, is integrated into the cEMR and allows prescribers to electronically create, receive, renew and cancel prescriptions. Prescribers can transmit a prescription electronically between the cEMR and the pharmacy management system (PMS) of a patient’s pharmacy of choice.

cEMR Features

Disconnected-Use Mode

The cEMR has been designed to work in situations where there is limited internet connectivity. For instance, when staff travel and deliver services away from the office (e.g. within a client’s home). Our Disconnected-Use Mode allows staff to chart in the cEMR as normal and then seamlessly synchronize their data once internet connectivity is restored.

Role-Based Access Controls

Ensures that a user’s access within the cEMR system is based on their scope of practice and provides access only to what they need to perform their job. Using these controls provides a balance between protecting a citizen’s right to privacy while allowing for the coordination of wellness services the citizen needs.

FIPS Certified Encryption

The cEMR utilizes Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certified encryption to protect your data at rest and in transit.

Multiple Deployment Options

There are a number of options to deploying the cEMR at an organization, depending on the infrastructure constraints and customer preferences. These deployment options are designed to meet an organizations’ unique needs, ranging from a local on-premise infrastructure deployment to a low infrastructure, secure cloud-based deployment (ASP).

Technical Standards

Throughout the cEMR, care is taken to use clinical and technical standards, e.g. ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED Clinical Nomenclature, LOINC document ontology standard for document classification, Unicode character support (enabling unique Indigenous language sets), etc.

Clinical Standards

The cEMR is a configurable tool, designed to meet ongoing clinical requirements, as well as an organization’s preferences around clinical standards

Privacy & Security Controls

The cEMR meets the Federal & Provincial privacy and security standards and requirements. As part of our implementation, we provide organizations with a complete privacy and security policy manual that is compliant with their jurisdiction/province.
