September 1st conjures vacation's end and school's start (of toil). More PTSD this September as we escalate preparation for Connect Care launch on November 3, 2019!
An important readiness chore is to make sure -- now -- that all legacy pre-Connect Care clinical documentation is complete. Now, because transfer from systems like eCLINICIAN and Netcare is happening now. Data conversion, chart abstraction and documentation cutover must be completed pre-launch.
What's to do? Start with ensuring that all Wave 1 site (University of Alberta Hospital, Mazinkowski Alberta Heart Institute, Stollery Children's Hospital, Kaye Edmonton Clinic, eCLINICIAN clinics) consult and discharge summary dictations are complete and signed.
It is to physician advantage to complete outstanding deficiencies (inpatients and day surgery) prior to November 3, 2019, eliminating the need to work in two systems.
Wave 1 physicians can contact Health Records (780-407-7638) to obtain a list of incomplete charts and have these pulled for dictation, correction and/or signing.
