Attention all UConn Health Providers who bill for services,

Prior to our HealthONE go-live on April 28, for patient safety and billing purposes, it is crucial that all clinical staff to complete and sign all clinical documentation (paper, electronic, or dictated/transcribed notes) by the following dates:

1. FOR ALL INPATIENT, ED, and OUTPATIENT (AMBULATORY) CARE PRIOR TO APRIL 23
   All outstanding clinical documentation must be completed and signed by 7:00pm on April 25, 2018.
2. FOR ALL INPATIENT, ED, and OUTPATIENT (AMBULATORY) CARE BETWEEN APRIL 23 to APRIL 28
   All outstanding clinical documentation must be completed and signed by 7:00pm on May 4, 2018.

Completing and signing all clinical documentation by these dates will help us bill on time and help improve the data available in HealthONE at go-live on Saturday, April 28.

Any notes that are not completed and signed by these dates may not be billed on-time, and could potentially contribute to delays in patient care.

During the last six to nine months, the HealthONE team has been concentrating on the build and testing of the HealthONE system. In January, the HealthONE training program for credentialed trainers, super users and UConn Health staff got underway.

Behind the scenes a small group of HealthONE CORe Team (Clinical Operational Readiness) members, along with consultant partners from CSI Healthcare IT, have been working on a HealthONE “activation” plan. Sometimes called a “go-live” plan, it includes four main pillars:

• TDR (Technical Dress Rehearsal): Testing of the functionality of every work station that will use HealthONE, including inpatient, outpatient, and off-campus locations. The goal is to ensure compatibility and proper execution of printers, barcode scanners, badge readers, and other devices.
• Cutover: A very detailed and technical process with hundreds of steps to turn on HealthONE, connect other IT systems to Epic, activate end user security accounts, etc.
• ATE (“At the Elbow”): Planning and coordination of several hundred support staff from Epic and external contractors
• Command Center Support: Up to 200 go-live support staff in three or four strategic areas manning help desk phones and working/resolving issues.

(Updated April 9)

With “OneSign”–commonly referred to as “Single Sign On”–successfully deployed on Floors 1 through 6 of the Outpatient Pavilion, the UConn HealthONE team is moving ahead with deployment of this badge-tap technology for the rest of the campus and community locations.

UConn HealthONE is the new electronic health record system UConn Health is debuting in one month. Single Sign On enables physicians, nurses, and other providers to quickly and securely access patient records simply by tapping their badge and entering a password. Single Sign On will allow users to tap in and out for four hours and 15 minutes without having to provide a password again.

Additional information from IT:

• Please leave your computer on at night to receive critical HealthONE updates, including Single Sign On.
• If your badge is not enrolled and/or you are having difficulty enrolling your badge after deployment, you can always log onto the PC with your normal network ID and password.
• IT staff will be coordinating deployments with the managers of each area and will be providing managers with Single Sign On cheat sheets to be distributed to their staff prior to enrollment. All documentation for Single Sign On can also be found in the UConn Health Applications folder located on the desktop of each PC.
• The entire University Tower is scheduled for deployment Monday, April 16.
• All areas, with the exception of the Emergency Department and Farmington Surgery Center will be deployed prior to April 28. The Emergency Department and Farmington Surgery Center will go live on April 28 with the rest of HealthONE.
• Providers who prescribe controlled substances will be able to use the Imprivata ID feature for ePrescribe feature once HealthONE is live on April 28.
