The Long and Winding Road to Implementation: the launch of an electronic patient-reported outcomes system in cardiac care in Alberta

Abstract

Using a narrative approach, we explore the implementation of an electronic patient-reported outcome measures system following coronary angiography in Alberta. A key component of this system in the way in which we identify eligible patients, and how we can integrate this directly into routine clinical workflows across two sites while minimizing staff burden. This process allows us to understand how to best scale this intervention and leverage the electronic medical system in the flagging of eligible patients.
