The aim of the e-learning pilot project was to prove that the e-learning solution provided as part of the ESR system (Electronic Staff Record) works successfully in all BHFT environments.
Over 30 sites, many community staff, shift workers, ward and office based
Clinical/non-clinical, regular system users/infrequent users

Project Executive – Head of Workforce Development
Project Manager from the Training Department
HIS Department (IT) and ESR Administrator brought into the project early on
Approximately 50 volunteers from across the Trust to form the testing group
Main heading 32pt
Main heading 32ptThe plan
1. Technical implementation (McKesson UK)
2. ESR administration set up activities
3. Training administration set up activities
4. Training administration testing
5. User testing
6. Documentation of results
It couldn’t be easier!

Main heading 32ptAssumptions
1. We will be flooded with volunteers to test the system
2. There are no external influences
3. All you need to do is follow the plan
4. The system works perfectly
5. It won’t take much time

The Major Problem!
We use a proxy server which must be bypassed
Why couldn’t it be bypassed at BHFT?
What can we do about it?
Main heading 32pt
Main heading 32ptLessons learned
1. Ensure the technical documentation is read and understood by the right people
2. Look into the proxy server issue before starting
3. Get the commitment from your test group early on
4. Expect some “external” issues; networks, possibly Java
5. Understand the activities on the plan
6. Support strategies in place; ESR, IT, e-learning
7. Allow time to manage the project
