Liquidlogic LAS Workbook, the workbook solution has its limitations
on use and build and was always identified as a short-term solution
to ensure Harvest View had an Electronic Case Management System for
their opening.
There is no Electronic Prescription Management Process. The Harvest
View Team currently use hand written MAR (Medication Administration
Record) sheets to record people’s medication records. There
is a need to make these electronic and integrate with the Harvest
View Pharmacy to minimise any errors and risks through manually
transcribing.
Any Harvest View Liquidlogic LAS development work needs to be fully
scoped and built into the Business Systems Teams (BST) workplan.
There is an urgent need for pathways to be developed.
• Nursing Pathways need to be scoped and built in
• ICares and YHP need to be scoped and built in
Alternative software is now required that will better adapt to the
management of Harvest View for a diverse, agile/remote
workforce.
The joint working arrangements at Harvest View comprises of the
Council contributing management, social care and maintenance staff
together with the Trust contributing to the provision of the
healthcare element of the service including the nursing provision.
There are joint arrangements for the provision of the Therapy Staff
and GP support. There is a need for a Software System that supports
all pathways.
Admissions are taken from those ready to leave hospital who meet
the criteria for Pathway 2, or those without acute medical needs
but who require step up from their own homes for a period of
reablement or to address social care crises. There is a need for a
Software System that supports the Step Up/Down processes.
