Question: In supplement to our earlier posting about access to In-Basket, Media Tab and other eCLINICIAN content after the launch of Connect Care, we receive a question about how long eCLINICIAN In-Basket messages will remain before being erased.
Answer: eCLINICIAN In-Basket messages will not be erased. They can be viewed by launching eCLINICIAN from within a Connect Care chart. As has always been the case, completed ("Doned") In-Basket tasks or communications are automatically archived after 60 days of inactivity. Items that have not been marked "Done" remain indefinitely.

How is eCLINICIAN opened within Connect Care?
Question: Has the method for accessing eCLINICIAN legacy information from within Connect Care locked in?
Answer: Yes. We are happy with how this has turned out. The eCLINICIAN access method will also serve for access to Netcare and to other legacy AHS information systems (e.g., Meditech, Sunrise Clinical Manager) in future. Best demonstrated, not described. We've updated a very short video:

Will eCLINICIAN InBasket Messages be Accessible post-Transition?
Question: Given that eCLINICIAN moves to a read-only state after Connect Care launches, and eCLINICIAN In-Basket tasks and messages do not transfer (data convert) to Connect Care, how can one access eCLINICIAN In-Basket archival content?
Answer: The eCLINICIAN legacy clinical information system is replaced by Connect Care and so, at launch of Connect Care, eCLINICIAN changes to a read-only state.
"eCLINICIAN Link" can be launched from within a Connect Care patient record. By this means, all past chart content is available for review in Connect Care. Most eCLINICIAN content will have been converted to become part of the full Connect Care chart. However, some categories of information are not automatically transferred. These include In-Basket content (tasks, messages, result notices, etc.) and material added to the "Media" section of a patient's chart.
Opening eCLINICIAN within Connect Care is seamless. There is no additional logon or patient lookup required. Important past InBasket notes can be copied and pasted. Media tab content can also be copied and pasted.
Over time, important Media tab content is brought to Connect Care as part of its enterprise content management functions.

What happens to eCLINICIAN access with Connect Care launch?
Question: A Connect Care FAQ document says that eCLINICIAN is being replaced by Connect Care. How does this work, logistically, for the community physicians, academic physicians at other sites, and researchers with studies that use eCLINICIAN? Once a transition occurs, will eCLINICIAN still be accessible for those who have relied upon it?
Answer: It is true that the eCLINICIAN clinical information system (CIS) is being replaced by the Connect Care CIS. But it is not true that there will be discontinuity, loss of data or lack of ongoing support for those who have relied upon eCLINICIAN.
Connect Care replaces eCLINICIAN, like-for-like. Everyone who uses eCLINICIAN as the record of care (or the scheduling facilitator of care) is aware of the change and supported in the move to Connect Care. This includes all outpatient areas where eCLINICIAN has been used, many outside the University Health Sciences campus. Research protocols are moved to Connect Care, where there are superior research information management tools.
Most of the clinical content of eCLINICIAN is automatically moved (data converted) to Connect Care. There are some things that cannot be safely moved. Personalizations, for example, have to be manually copied by physicians from one Epic platform to the next. And some scanned content will take a while to migrate to the new Connect Care enterprise content management system. All eCLINICIAN stakeholders retain read-only access to eCLINICIAN after Connect Care launches.
