What went live?
New electronic processes to ensure that patients’ values are “Expressed, Heard, and Respected”, particularly regarding serious illness and end-of-life care, rolled out to acute care sites across Island Health.
The technology supporting this improvement to quality in patient care is:
- Cerner Advance Care Planning PowerForm
- Electronic Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (eMOST),
Benefits include:
- Ensuring patients and clients have their wishes Expressed, Heard, and Respected.
- Standardizing the process for documenting and reviewing our patients’ wishes and values of care.
- Providing easy electronic access to MOST documentation.
- Establishing a single source of truth for MOST in Island Health.
As of November 2022, all acute care locations at Island Health use eMOST.
Do you have questions about the transition to electronic MOST or the Advance Care Planning PowerForm? Check out our FAQ page:
