Unity tip of the week: Always use Patient List or Scheduling where possible and not RXK number to find your patients

October 13, 2020

This week’s tip of the week comes from Leong Lee, Clinical Safety Officer and Ash Sharma, Chief Clinical Information Officer.

“Always use Patient List or Scheduling where possible and not RXK number to find your patients. If you have to search with RXK ensure you have the correct encounter. A Results Only encounter will not allow you to order tests or prescribe drugs.”

We are encouraging colleagues at all levels across the Trust to suggest any quick wins or top tips they have for using Unity in their ward, area or department.

All suggestions are welcome so please get in touch! The best suggestions will be featured in our Unity Tip of the Week every Wednesday on Connect.

If you have a tip of the week please send it to swbh.unitytips@nhs.net.
