Key Points
- From 18:00 on 26 July 2022: the CMC application will switch to read-only access.
- Between 18:00 on 26 July 2022 and 09:00 on 27 July 2022: all CMC logins and in-context links will remain active. However, it will not be possible to create new CMC care plans or edit existing CMC care plans during this period.
- Overnight 26 July 2022: The final stage of the care plan migration will occur. All published care plans in CMC will migrate to the new Urgent Care Plan.
- At 09:00 on 27 July 22: The new Urgent Care Plan will be live and ready to use. After this point, the CMC application will no longer be accessible.
Go-live day
At 09:00 on 27 July 2022, the current CMC application will be turned off. The CMC in-context links present in host EPRs will no longer be functional. Minutes thereafter, all migrated CMC care plans will be visible as PDF documents in the London Care Record.
After that:
- The UCP Web Portal will become active.
- Users who have activated their UCP Web Portal credentials will be able to log-in to the UCP via the UCP Web Portal to view, create or edit care plans.
- EMIS and TPP SystmOne Users who have configured the Valida client and registered their smartcards will be able to access care plans via the Valida notification and be able to view, create or edit care plans.
- 111 and OOH services will notice a special patient note in Adastra that alerts them that patients have an Urgent Care Plan. Users can access the UCP in-context and view Urgent Care Plans.
- The London Ambulance Service will be able to access the UCP in-context of their ePCR for read-only access to care plans.
- The in-context link to the UCP will appear in the London Care Record. This will be implemented sequentially over the course of the morning, starting with those systems that already had an in-context link to CMC.
Whilst this cutover period is planned to occur within minutes, there may be some variation in reaction times for activating the in-context link by host EPR engineers. The UCP and integrations have been tested extensively to prepare for go-live. However, please be sensitive that this is a pan-London deployment that relies on multiple engineers supporting many Electronic Patient Record systems and is reliant on national HSCN infrastructure.
We anticipate that most users will be able to access the UCP in-context and will not need web-portal log-in credentials. However, if for any reason the in-context integration is delayed at cutover, the UCP helpdesk will be able to issue short term UCP Web Portal log-in credentials on request.
