Appendix B Medicines Policy
Process for Administering Medications using e-Prescribing system (JAC)
Training/Support when rolling out
• Training 3 weeks prior to go live – all shifts• Ward based Refresher session 1 week prior go live• Ward Based go live Support 24 x 7• Nurses – Group Dedicated Training• Doctors – One on One training• E-learning package• E-learning assessment
Practical deployment
• Avoid Mondays!• Accompany all nurses on first shift and floor walk• Attend Doctor ward rounds on rollout day and the next
day• Pharmacy start early transcribing- electronic stickers on
notes• Introduced Shift Work in project team.• Programme manager accessible and responsive
Practical deployment
• High visible presence during rollout• Introduce a 24/7 bleep for help/support • Mobile phones for the team• Keep issue log and respond immediately• Allow emergency pain relief paper charting in critical areas
or situations (Recovery/ED)• Set up user groups
Go live and day-to-day considerations
• Business continuity plan (BPC)– Communicate to staff to revert back to paper– Have local Disaster Recovery folder– Be clear about roles and responsibilities
• How do paper charts get to wards• How do patient profiles get to wards• How do you transcribe back into electronic system
– Documentation of plan and triggers in IT support team
Emedicines administration – Quality/Safety
• Design and develop front-end using clinical engagement• No information is lost, strong IG/security• E-discharge information• Pin-pointing to root causes much easier• Re-use e-information for different purposes (e-Drug
chart/Admission/Discharge)
Customize views in clinical practice
Next EPR release will make E-Drug chartUsable according to staff’s needs
Conclusion
Our experience of E-prescribing and administration• Fast track change in practice works and minimises risk to
patients (transition of electronic versus paper)– Kinder on users (many worry- unnecessarily- about change
in practice)– Robust control of project due to short timeline– Fast adaptation of new practice– Needs careful investment and preparation to succeed
Conclusion
Beyond the embedding phase• Flexible use of e-prescribing/medicine management
information– Golden source of info regarding e-discharge summaries– DR/BAU needs to be regularly monitored/managed.– True clinical business critical system– Initial change in practice is difficult, but the rewards from a
safety and efficiency perspective is worth it
