To configure appointment sessions for EMIS Mobile use, you need to adjust your appointment setup slightly to ensure compatibility with mobile access. If you typically manage appointments such as home visits as a list, it is necessary to modify the session by changing the configuration to a non-list category. This should be applied to the specific user involved, either as a single or joint session holder.

Steps to Configure Appointment Sessions:

Add a New Session Category for Mobile:

  • Access the Appointment Book within EMIS Web and navigate to Appts Config.
  • Select Organisation Options > Session Categories > Add.
  • In the Add New Session Category screen, ensure to select Non-list session types and check Available for mobile.

Edit an Existing Session Category:

  • In an existing Appointment Book, locate the Session Category you wish to modify for mobile usage.
  • Select Mobile in the Session Category to enable it for appointments on EMIS Mobile.
Enabling session categories for EMIS Mobile allows clinicians to manage appointments efficiently on the go, streamlining care delivery in various settings.
