Heartbeat: Roadshows create a buzz about Unity

January 4, 2019

There was a positive buzz and anticipation for the launch of our new electronic patient record when colleagues visited the first week of the Unity roadshows.

Nearly 200 colleagues stopped to speak to staff about getting ready for go-live and how Unity will support teams in their clinical practice.

Sharon Reynolds, Informatics Matron said: “The idea of the roadshows is to focus on clinical safety. The first round of events will initially concentrate on the themes of sepsis management and how Unity can further support the safety plan.”

Sharon added: “It was great to see colleagues from different professions stopping by to speak about Unity and sepsis. Many shared their own experiences about loved ones affected by sepsis and appreciated the early detection of patients who may be affected.

“We also had a huge number of colleagues downloading the myConnect app – a really useful way of keeping up to date with the latest news about Unity.”

The roadshows are a great opportunity for digital champions to work together with the Unity project team and gain further understanding of the system. If you would like to come and help out on a roadshow please email the clinical informatics team swbh.informaticsnurses@nhs.net.
