Enhanced Care Tools - Mar 20, 2010

Today, we launched a new look and new tools that make caregiving easier and more effective.

 

The new tools allow caregivers to share emergency information, keep track of medications, manage groups of chronic conditions, and record notes for individual conditions, if these change.

 

These enhancements will help healthcare professionals provide better treatment, while saving caregivers time.

 

Our new look is a gift from the design professionals at Ion Branding and Design. They’ve stripped away everything that was unnecessary, so the goal of easier, better care is clearer and easier to achieve.

 

We hope that you like our new site and, as always, we welcome your feedback.

 
The BC Children's Heart Network - November 17, 2009
The Care Tools is offering to help the BC Children's Heart Network's members manage chronic heart conditions at home. The goals: easier and better care, for children and their families. By using The Care Tools to monitor conditions, and to share these with healthcare professionals, we can improve treatment and care outcomes, and that means a better quality of life.
 
Family Medicine Forum 2009 - October 29, 2009
The Care Tools sparked interest amongst Canadian family physicians at their annual scientific conference. Over 2000 members attended the conference to gain knowledge and tools to improve their family medicine practice. The Care Tools' presentation was particularly relevant for physicians seeking to enable their patients to be active, informed and engaged partners in care. Of particular interest were The Care Tools' capabilities to focus on patient needs, track patient conditions between visits, monitor treatments and save physicians time.

Our Powerpoint presentation  is available to view (note, it's large file)

New Name - Better Care - March 24, 2009
We're pleased to announce that we've expanded the care tools and changed our name.

The care tools can now be used by almost anyone with a chronic illness, and their families, to make care easier and better. Our new name reflects this broader scope, and we look forward to helping those with diabetes, cancer, strokes and other conditions to live better lives.

Along with the expansion, we've enhanced our Care Receiver profile to encompass more conditions and abilities. We've also simplified printing Records; it now takes takes just 2 clicks. This will make it easier to share records with health professionals, which is a springboard to better consultations, treatment monitoring and care.

We continually upgrade our care tools and website based on user feedback. We'd welcome yours. See About Us/ Contact for our contact details.
