Managing Patient Data in NCIS Following Restoration
The NCIS Office has drafted guidance to assist hospitals in managing their patient data in NCIS following the restoration of the Production Environment.
Each hospital can consider what level of data reconciliation will be required to update patient records.
This may include:
- Recommendations made for patients at MDM during the period of downtime
- Changes to the patient’s therapy plan e.g. dose reductions, delays etc.
- Tasks which are outstanding in NCIS, but which may have been completed externally to NCIS during the period of downtime ( e.g. prepared/dispensed medications awaiting administration, open MDM registrations in NCIS that have not been locked. Update lot management to current stock levels of products and infusion solutions)
