EPS Prescription Tracker business continuity guidance
The EPS Prescriptions Tracker’s Business Continuity Mode allows users to view prescription information such as medication details.
Business Continuity Mode can be used to help clinical decision making when the pharmacy dispensing system is not available, but the site still has an HSCN connection.
It should only be used when site is in a real business continuity situation.

- It may assist business continuity planning and working - for example, helping to determine which patients urgently require emergency supply and assisting discussions with your local GP practices
- Improved patient care and clinical safety
- It will save time for pharmacy staff and patients, and avoid delays to patients receiving medication
