Continuing a list of essential actions for Connect Care Launch 4 prescribers readying for launch May 28, 2022...

• Anticipate LTC Cutover

Cutover for long-term care (LTC) is a process through which key pieces of information about LTC residents are entered into Connect Care prior to launch. The primary concern for prescribers will be the management of medication and non-medication orders, and the translation of important information about patients’ clinical status from a paper record to an electronic one.

Prescribers should anticipate, and mobilize resources for, two key tasks as part of LTC cutover processes near launch:

1. April 18–27: Please support the LTC teams by signing non-medication orders forms and Facility Living medication order forms (replaces standing orders) when requested. This information which will be entered by the cutover nurses and dieticians starting May 9.
2. May 23–28: Validate entered orders the week before launch.
