Unity readiness checklist

March 6, 2018

For the launch of Unity to be successful we all must ensure we are prepared. To help with this, a readiness checklist has been produced as guide to support teams. The checklist contains different sections, which contain a number of checks aimed for teams to work through each section, collect the checks, and show that they are ready for Unity.

Your Unity Readiness Checklist is a guide for you and your department to get yourselves ready for the new Unity electronic patient record (EPR). The checklist contains different sections, which contain a number of checks. The aim of the checklist is for you to work through each section, collect the checks, and show that you are ready for the new EPR.

Each ward/department/team will receive their own checklist. The checklist belongs to your department, so assign someone within your team to be in charge of it and store it somewhere safe. How you get your checks is up to you. You may ask different team members to focus on a particular area or set up a small group to work through them all. Accountability for progress with readiness preparation and associated reporting sits with the ward/department manager.

Paper copies of the checklist will be handed out at the second day of Digital Champion Training, but you can also download a copy from Connect:
