iPM (Lorenzo) Outage for Unity preparation Wednesday 21 March 4am – 7am

March 20, 2018

There will be a short outage of iPM (Lorenzo) planned for the morning of Wednesday 21 March from 4am – 7am. During this time iPM (Lorenzo) will not be available.

This will have the following impact:

Emergency Departments: Use Patient First as normal, use pre-numbered labels for NEW patients

Maternity: Use Badgernet Maternity as normal for mothers already admitted, new mothers will need to be captured on paper and retrospectively input, Babies entered onto Badgernet whilst iPM (Lorenzo) is unavailable will not get an RXK number, these will be queued and released when iPM (Lorenzo) available, poorly babies should be given a pre-numbered RXK label.

Wards: eBMS can be used for existing patients transfers and discharges, new patient admissions will not appear on eBMS boards until iPM (Lorenzo) is available again, patient tracker form should be used to track these patients.

Direct Admission Wards: Keep track of these using the patient tracker form.

Requests and Results (iCM): Can be done in iCM for existing patients, new patients will not be in iCM so these requests should be done on paper, urgent results will need to be telephoned as they may not be in iCM or CDA until iPM (Lorenzo) is available again.

Emergency Operations in Theatre: ORMIS will not be able to pull the patients details from iPM

(Lorenzo), the information needs to be captured onto the data capture forms, and then entered into ORMIS when iPM (Lorenzo) is available again.
