To configure variable use medication settings in EMIS Web, follow these steps:

Access Medication Configuration:
  • Navigate to the EMIS Web menu.
  • Point to Care Record and select Medication.
  • If you don't have a patient selected, you'll be prompted to select one using the Patient Find feature.
  • On the ribbon, click Config to display the Medication Configuration screen.
Configure Variable Use Options:
  • Once on the Medication Configuration screen, locate the Variable Use Prescribing settings.
  • Select one of the following options:
    • Always split: This option will always separate variable use medication onto a different prescription from non-variable use medications.
    • Prompt user to split: A prompt will appear verifying whether to print the medication on a separate prescription or not when prescribing multiple medications including variable use.
    • Disabled: The variable use option is unavailable when issuing medication.
Ensuring that variable use medications are configured correctly can simplify the prescribing process, reduce errors, and save time when dealing with complex medication regimes.
