The process:

• The Speciality team will report to the Flow Co-Ordinator on arrival in the ED
• The Speciality team will have read only access to view ED documents
• The Flow Co-ordinator prints out relevant documentation (SBAR)
• The Speciality doctor sees the patient. They will not update Sunrise but continue to use their own paper inpatient documentation*
• The ED printouts are returned to the Flow Co-ordinator and disposed of, as they would no longer be current.

*Once the wards go live with Sunrise clinical documentation, the Speciality doctors will complete their Clinical Clerking document on Sunrise instead of on paper
