Dress rehearsal of Unity – what you need to know

September 6, 2018

The week starting Monday 17 September will see a number of clinical teams take part in a dress rehearsal of Unity which will identify any issues ahead of go-live.

Seventeen areas have been identified to take part in the dress rehearsal – a number of briefings sessions will take place and details of these will be available on Connect.

This is the second Unity dress rehearsal and is an opportunity for our operational teams supported by our digital champions and the Unity project team to use the electronic patient record and prepare for go-live. Any issues identified during the dress rehearsal will be resolved to ensure the smooth launch of Unity.

    • 19 September (9am–5pm) – Outpatient areas

Activities taking place will include testing Unity processes and devices; A4 printing, wristband, specimen label and barcode scanning.

The technical dress rehearsal will take place from 10-14 September.
