To identify post-dated prescriptions in EMIS Web's Medication History, you need to navigate through the patient's medication records and look for the prescription dates. Here’s a straightforward guide to help:

Accessing Medication History

1. Open the EMIS Web menu and navigate to the Care Record section.

2. Select Medication. This brings up the patient's medication history screen.

Identifying Post-Dated Prescriptions

On the Medication screen, closely inspect the list of prescriptions under the Current and Past sections. For each prescription entry, the date on which it was issued and any post-dated scheduling will be visible.

Time-Saving Tip: EMIS Web allows administrators and clinicians to manage and review upcoming prescription needs efficiently, which can save significant time in prescription workflow management.

By identifying post-dated prescriptions, you can efficiently plan patient follow-up appointments or manage inventory requirements, leading to smoother practice operations.

Make sure to regularly review and update post-dated prescriptions to avoid any pharmacy issues or patient inconveniences.
