HEPMA makes progress at UHM
The first phase deployment of the new hospital electronic prescribing and medicines administration (HEPMA) system began in February by upgrading the existing pilot wards at University Hospital Monklands (UHM).

Kenneth added: “As a team, we have learned some valuable lessons that have allowed us to adjust our approach and refine deployment processes as we prepare for the next stage of roll-out at University Hospital Hairmyres”.
