Countdown Checklist L8, T-minus 42: Complete and Close Legacy Charts

Continuing a list of essential actions for Connect Care Launch 8 prescribers readying for launch May 4, 2024...
  • Complete and Close Legacy Charts
Incomplete charts at Launch 8 sites need physician attention pre-launch. Moving to a new clinical information system (CIS) is hard if pre-existing records are not tidied up.

Physicians must attend to ALL incomplete Launch 8 AHS health records by May 3, 2024. This includes outstanding dictations and signatures for inpatient and day surgery health records, not just those that are overdue. 

After 05:00 on May 4, 2024, records will be completed through the Connect Care CIS rather than external dictation or eScription. Any outstanding incomplete records that exist at cutover will not be transitioned into Connect Care. Any incomplete health records on inpatients discharged on/after May 4, 2024 will be completed in Connect Care. 

Physicians can contact Health Records at the Launch 8 sites Monday to Friday 07:45–16:00 to obtain a list of incomplete charts requiring attention.
