Business Continuity

Business Continuity provides a valuable service in the unlikely event of your clinical system being unavailable. This could occur due to:

  • A fault on your N3 line
  • Your surgery experiencing a loss of power
  • Your system being down

In the event of a N3 fault, for example, a business continuity service would enable you to log onto on your computer and carry on accessing and recording clinical data. When the fault is rectified, any information recorded automatically uploads to your clinical system the next time you log on to it.

From Vision Anywhere release v3.5, Vision Anywhere replaces Pocket Vision as the recommended business continuity solution for Vision.

If there is a power outage then Vision Anywhere can be used on iOS or Android mobile devices until your power is restored.

Please be aware of the following:

  • The Vision Anywhere Business Continuity solution does not replicate full Vision 3 functionality, however, it provides read and write access to key clinical data, acting as an 'insurance policy' for your practice.
  • The Vision Business Continuity solution does not replace the need for you to run and maintain a robust back up procedure.
  • The Vision Business Continuity solution only downloads when a clinician is logged on to Vision Anywhere, so a part-time clinician or a clinician who has been on leave, may not have a full seven days in advance available
  • If you are currently using Vision V360 for your Business Continuity, you can continue to do so.
  • The following functionality is unavailable when working offline, for example, an N3 issue:

    • Prescribing Decision Support
    • Repeat Medication Management
    • Correspondence

Your Vision 3 appointments lists can also be backed up to local computers and printed as required, see Appointments Back up - Hosted.
