The CDM-QIP session relates directly to both Better Care and Better Health and will focus on how the program helps clinicians across Saskatchewan to manage chronic conditions in their patients. The current chronic conditions included in the program are Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease and will be expanding to include COPD and congestive heart failure. The presentation will include a demonstration CDM-QIP, an overview of its delivery and information regarding participation for those who want to sign up. A clinician will discuss how they have used CDM-QIP in their practice to benefit their patients. Early results generated by the program will be shared.

Chronic Disease is a critical issue in Canada and Saskatchewan is not unique. The costs of treating and living with chronic diseases to Saskatchewan is staggering and when they are calculated they often do not include the cost of pain and suffering. The cost of chronic diseases to Saskatchewan is estimated to be $240M annually due to illnesses and disability. (College of Family Physicians of Canada 2012 Pre-budget Submission to the Standing Committee on Finance).
