For prescribers who have patients scheduled for treatment as described above, there are two essential actions for Manual Clinical Orders Conversion:
- All site privileged prescribers must complete their basic training and EUPA, to ensure they have Connect Care access 4 weeks prior to launch, by October 4. These prerequisites are necessary for clinicians to be able to transcribe your orders. Specific site privileges are necessary to prescribe treatments delivered at an AHS location.
- Note: Once you have completed your EUPA, you may begin receiving In Basket messages in Connect Care. This is how the departments will send orders to you for clarification and, if necessary, for signing.
- If you plan to order recurrent therapy plans, it will be your responsibly to enter these orders directly into Connect Care post-launch. Attend a prescriber-facilitated session for additional training in therapy plans (see earlier post for details).
