Readiness Assessment 5 (RA5)

Readiness Assessment 5 (RA5)

During the implementation of ESR, there are four Readiness Assessments and each of these gateways have to be passed in order for the next stage of activities to commence.

A fifth Readiness Assessment (RA5) was introduced during the development of the initial post go-live framework.  NHS organisations are taken through this approximately 3 months after go-live.  Its primary purpose is to assess:

• The organisation’s use of the core ESR footprint
• Readiness to implement the expansion pack modules, learning and talent management and manager and employee self-service
• The approach to other post go-live activity such as implementing interfaces with other systems.
