Scotland migrating to the new, hosted Vision clinical system

Whether you currently use Vision Aeros, Vision LAN, or EMIS, all general practices in Scotland will soon be migrating to the new version of the Vision clinical system: hosted Vision.

The good news for all practices using Lexacom in Scotland is that Lexacom fully integrates with all versions of Vision.

Migrating to the new hosted Vision clinical system

Summary

If you are on Vision Aeros already you don’t need to do anything.

If as part of the reprovisioning you are moving from Vision LAN or EMIS Web there are a couple of things that need to be done to ensure the integration continues to work.

Which version of Vision am I on?

  • If you have a second desktop, you’re on Vision Aeros. If you have a desktop icon for Vision, you’re on Vision LAN.

Practices currently using EMIS or Vision LAN need to make a change in the Lexacom Admin account (amend the clinical system), and install a small application called Lexacom RDP Client 1.1.1.exe on each workstation. A combination of the Lexacom administrator, our helpdesk and Health Board IT will complete these steps.

All practices that are moving to hosted Vision need to ensure Cegedim have installed the Lexacom RDP as part of their configuration.

For practices currently using Vision Aeros, no changes are required to Lexacom or Workstations.

Change in Lexacom Admin (to be completed by practice staff)

Changes to workstations (to be completed by Lexacom / Health Board IT)

  • It is necessary to run the Lexacom RDP Client 1.1.1.exe on each workstation that runs Lexacom. Usually this will require admin rights. Restart the workstation after installing
