Does anyone have experience working with secondary care infusion prescriptions? I'm particularly interested in why Dose Rate (e.g. mg/min) is not considered a standard unit for infusion prescribing, as opposed to infusion rate (e.g. ml/min).

Hello everyone,

When I was in London recently at Imperial College for a study day, a digital colleague from another Trust mentioned that they are currently planning their first EPR/EPMA go-live, transitioning from paper-based processes to a digital system.

They asked me whether I had any advice and to be honest, it is a very difficult question to answer, but I tried to offer some snippets of advice where I could.

What I did say, is that I would put this question in the forum and see if we could get people to share advice and their experiences, particularly if they had done this recently... so here we are.

They'd greatly benefit from hearing about the real-world experiences of others who've already navigated this transition.

Has anyone here recently been through an EPR/EPMA implementation, specifically moving from paper to digital?
