1 Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration Project Overview 1. Project Background The purpose of the project is to implement an Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (epma) system across Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. epma or eprescribing is described by NHS England as: the utilisation of electronic systems to facilitate and enhance communication of a prescription or medicine order, aiding the choice, administration and supply of a medicine through knowledge and decision support and providing a robust audit trail for the entire medicines use process ( Safer Hospitals, Safer Wards: Achieving an Integrated Digital Care Record, NHS England, 2013) In January 2014, NGH was awarded capital funding from the NHS England Safer Hospitals, Safer Wards (SHSW) Technology Fund, to support this project. The Trust went live with the Ascribe Pharmacy system in November The procurement of the Pharmacy system (via OJEU) and subsequent award of contract to Ascribe included the option to implement, as a second phase, the Ascribe electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration system before This negates the need for a further procurement exercise, and provides the benefit of an integrated Pharmacy / eprescribing system from a leading supplier. The eprescribing project commenced in February 2014, following the SHSW Technology Fund award. 2. Project Aims and Objectives The overarching aim of the project is to improve medicines safety through the implementation of the Ascribe Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration software throughout NGH: a patient orientated Prescribing system that will support electronic medicines administration and medicine management in clinical areas. Electronic prescribing will demand changes in work practices within the Trust, moving from a predominantly handwritten prescription / administration exercise to electronic recording and communication. In its simplest form, an overview of a typical eprescribing process within a hospital ward setting is as follows: Doctors prescribe on the ward round, recording the prescription electronically using handheld tablet computers; medicines are selected from the Trust formulary, supported by templates The prescription is automatically transmitted to the Pharmacy system The Pharmacy Department processes result in prescription dispensing 1

2 Medicine administration is done by nurses on the ward, and recorded electronically in the eprescribing system The system will integrate with existing Trust systems such as Pharmacy, PAS, Finance and electronic discharge notifications to primary care. Appendix A provides a summary of the overarching principles of an eprescribing and Medicines Administration System. 3. Benefits A range of benefits is anticipated. The following are examples from an NHS Connecting for Health (CfH) report on Electronic prescribing in hospitals Challenges and lessons learned (2009): Providing prescribers with access to decision support, for example BNF lookup, default doses, drug-allergy and interactions checking, checking doses against patient s age Helping to support the use of a trust formulary Removing need to rewrite medication charts, and associated potential for transcription errors Supporting direct communication of prescribing information to pharmacy Allowing the easy and direct production of discharge prescriptions Supporting the supply of medicines to the ward in a timely fashion Removing the problem of missing or illegible drug charts Prompting when doses are due Allowing easy review of previous medication history The benefits described above will support a key Trust / CQC priority: the production of discharge medications (TTO), through improved processes including real time prescribing and better communication and workflow. 4. Implementation Approach Planning has commenced for the phased implementation of eprescribing: Technical implementation and Phase 1 Pilot expected early 2015 Phase 2 Early Adopters Phase 3 Full Implementation Lessons learnt from other Trusts indicate that whilst implementing eprescribing is very achievable, it will also face challenges. The 2009 CfH report states the following: eprescribing projects require a strong and committed multi-disciplinary team to lead them. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists must work together with other healthcare professionals and managers to prepare for eprescribing 2

3 implementation. eprescribing projects require the active support of senior managers and senior clinical leaders, who must be briefed to ensure that they understand the challenges of eprescribing, the changes it will bring and the benefits. Project activities include: Initial project planning, selection of pilot clinical areas (ward / outpatient), definition of benefits Technical Planning, e.g. IT infrastructure, defining business as usual support requirements Business change analysis describing current prescribing / medicines administration processes, and a detailed future state process maps; plus interim electronic / paper processes whilst the system is being implemented across the Trust) Software configuration and testing Reporting requirements definition and implementation End-user Acceptance Testing Installation of new end-user hardware / software Training Go live, including floorwalking support Ensuring ongoing support and training for the system and users Planning further phases Full implementation across the Trust is expected to take around three years, although implementation of lessons learnt from the pilot and further detailed planning is required. 5. Project Board The Project Board represents at managerial level the business, user and supplier interests of the project. The Board is made up as follows: Project Sponsor / Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) and Chair of the Project Board: Dr Natasha Robinson (Associate Medical Director and Chair of Medication Safety Group) Senior User Doctor: Dr Melanie Blake (Consultant), Dr David Sharman (Consultant) and Dr Dominic Cox (Consultant) Senior User Nurse: Natalie Green (Lead Nurse Surgical Care Group) Senior User Pharmacy: Paul Rowbotham (Chief Pharmacist) Operations Lead: Fiona Lennon (General Manager Medicine And Emergency Care) 3
