If you remember, Christine Connelly, (DH DG of informatics), had set a deadline for Morecambe Bay to go live with the latest version of Lorenzo (v1.9) by the end of March 2010. CSC had missed this deadline, but trust eventually went live with the iSoft system later in the summer. It now appears to be having issues with its legacy patient administration system, iPM and with feeding information from iPM into Lorenzo.

E-Health insider reported that a Board meeting presentation identified a number of issues including “data migration fallout from trying to shoehorn iPM into a rigid RTT structure,” and backlogs in translating referrals into episodes of care. It also lists “inconsistent behaviour being exhibited on occasions by Lorenzo.”
