The trend toward real-time digitization of primary disease management continues to increase. Major reasons for this trend are that digitization can enable increased awareness of current patient health status, adherence to a treatment plan, and closer patient follow-up. Nowhere has this trend been more embraced than in the management of diabetes.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease and one of the most prevalent symptomatic health problems. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) leads to knee pain and altered joint function, with socioeconomic consequences. It generates a high proportion of health costs in many countries and has become a major public health issue.

Foot involvement is a major manifestation of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and can lead to severe levels of foot pain and disability and impaired functional mobility and quality of life. Gait spatiotemporal parameters (STPs) and gait variability, used as a clinical index of gait stability, have been associated with several adverse health outcomes, including risk of falling, functional decline, and mortality.

EVENT DETAILS:

In 2002, Competitive Edge partnered with the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine to create office management software that meets the daily needs of a podiatry clinic. This application is powerful, yet simple to learn and use. The ability to manage patients, their appointments/invoices, control inventory and do electronic charting is all handled by using this software. This affordable solution has been continuously evolving based on customer feedback and suggestions.


Corey from Competitive Edge will be joining us for this webinar to do a quick demonstration of the software and will be sharing tips & tricks to ensure that existing customers are using the software to their advantage. New customers are also encouraged to attend to see how their current platform compares to the software program the CFPM offers.
