Chronic Disease Electronic Management System

The Chronic Disease Electronic Management System (CDEMS) is an electronic registry developed and shared nationwide by the WA Diabetes Prevention and Control Program. Program files and information about training and technical assistance is available on the CDEMS web site - www.cdems.com.

The Chronic Disease Electronic Management System (CDEMS) is a free electronic registry developed by the Washington State Department of Health's Diabetes Prevention and Control Program.  CDEMS is a Microsoft Access database application designed to assist in monitoring the care of patients with chronic health conditions and as measurement tool for WA State Collaborative reporting.

CDEMS is fully customizable allowing the user to define the measurement set, tickler settings, progress note layout and graphs for a particular chronic condition.  Flexible reporting tools generate population-based statistical summary reports and intervention lists to monitor changes over time for a patient population. 

Program files are available without charge on the "Download Files" page at www.cdems.com, with optional modules for electronically posting lab results into CDEMS and for aggregated multi-site reporting.  Many self-support tools are available including user guides and a User Forum with over 700 technical questions and answers.   Implementation assistance and technical support is available at no cost to organizations in Washington State by Washington State Department of Health contractor Jackie Gianunzio (aka Rainshadow Technology Solutions).  Fee-based support is available to national users.

Group training classes are offered frequently and periodic User Meetings provide an opportunity for users to collaborate and network on advanced registry topics.  Check the Diabetes Network Event postings or the "Training" page at www.cdems.com for information about these opportunities.
