Through support from the MOHLTC, the Ontario Long-Term Care Association and AdvantAge Ontario, we are pleased to provide you with access to the Clinical Support Tools in PointClickCare and MED e-care. The goal of the Clinical Support Tools program is to provide homes with tools to help drive standardization, quality improvement initiatives, access to data and ultimately, ensure appropriate care is put in place to reduce avoidable hospitalizations.
Leading Practices

Reduces Administrative Burden
Reduces administrative burden and releases time to care.
Streamlines Communication
Improves communication and clinical documentation to close communication gaps and best inform decision making for resident care.

“The Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia Clinical Support Tool (CST) has provided us with a thorough critical assessment leading to better analysis for identifying contributing factors for behaviours. With the rollout of the CST, it brought the opportunity for further education of supporting validated assessment tools such as the CAM, MOCA, and MMSE.”
