3 Unplanned Patient List (UPL) - management of acute patients coming in to the hospital Applies to: Leeds Teaching Hospitals users The Trust will be starting to use an electronic patient list for the management of acute patients (non-elective) coming into the hospital. A live pilot of this patient list will commence in cardiology in early June. It is anticipated that each PPM+ upgrade (pending the outcome of the pilot) will continue to deliver new features supporting acute patient demand. The Unplanned Patient List (UPL) can be accessed via Browse Lists in the Actions bar on the home tab: Here you can add patients to or remove patients from the Patient List: PPM+ Release Notes v3.2.11j.docx 3 of 6 Last updated: 04/06/2015

6 edan (integrated with emedicines System) available to a limited number of users for testing against test patients Applies to: Leeds Teaching Hospitals Later in the year the emedicines project will be piloted on J91 and then rolled out across the whole Trust to commence electronic prescribing within the hospitals. To coincide with this, we will also be rolling out edans in PPM+ and eventually moving away from the Bluespier system. During June edans within PPM+ will be available to a limited number of users for testing against test patients in a non-live environment.
