In preparation for this change training is currently being run for all PAC staff in each PAC.  Pictured above are EMR Trainer Vivienne Queen and Dr Dalach O’Deasmhunaigh.

Why have Pre-Admission Clinic (PAC) documentation in the EMR?

• Reduction of duplication of documentation by different craft groups in PAC

• Improved access to PAC information including improved legibility of notes that are currently hand written

• Decreased workload for staff on the day of surgery (e.g. home medications will already have been documented when the patient arrives)
