The EPMA Business Continuity procedure is a business critical process that is reliant on the PC Shadow Manager correctly copying the live EPMA server at all times.
This allows the in-patient wards to print the medication charts (MAC/MAP) in the event of unplanned system downtime. The daily check ensures that the clinical team have the most up to date medication records in the event that medication charts need to be printed and reduces the risk of patient harm.
The daily checks completed each day must be recorded on the web form:
