Countdown Checklist L8, T-minus 2: Catch Up Dictations

Continuing a list of essential actions for Connect Care Launch 8 prescribers readying for launch May 4, 2024...

• Dictate any pre-launch admission or transfer notes

Launch 8 inpatient facilities are supported for dictation of admission histories, transfer notes, consultation reports and discharge summaries. This is done through the provincial eScription service, with products appearing in the Netcare electronic health record. These dictations will also be available to refer to in Connect Care when it launches.

Succinct initial progress notes become possible in Connect Care if they can refer to an existing digital admission or transfer record and simply note any changes since. The same applies for Consults performed in the coming week for patients expected to still be in-hospital post-launch.

• Take advantage of eScription to facilitate easier Connect Care cutover this weekend!
