In EMIS Web, you can customise electronic prescription options to match your workflow needs effectively. Here's a step-by-step guide to maximise efficiency and accuracy when issuing prescriptions:
Accessing Electronic Prescription Options
Navigate to the Medication section after logging into EMIS Web. Select the intended patient or medicine to manage their prescription settings.
Configuring Default Prescription Settings
Within the Issue Screen, you can pre-set several options to streamline the prescription process. Configure the printer settings and choose whether to default to printing prescription tokens. Always have the option to toggle these off should the circumstance require it.
Utilising the Pharmacy and Patient Messaging Functions
Prescription instructions can be personalised with one-off messages for the pharmacy and the patient, ensuring all parties are informed of specific advice or alerts relevant to the medication dispensation. This enhances clarity and reduces miscommunication related to medication instructions.
Did you know? By setting urgency tags in your prescription configurations (Immediate or Routine), you'll help pharmacies prioritize medication preparations effectively, which can be critical in urgent care situations.
Digital Authorisation and Safety Checks
Ensure that all necessary authorizations are complete before approving prescriptions. EMIS Web requests that reauthorizations are handled immediately to prevent delays, and provides alerts for any safety warnings which need your attention.
By tailoring electronic prescription settings, clinicians and practice administrators can enhance operational efficiency and improve patient satisfaction through timely and accurate medication delivery.
If you require integration beyond EMIS Web’s functionalities, consider Hero Health’s platform integration for features like individual and batch messaging, enhancing patient-practice communication. For more information, visit Hero Health Individual Messaging.
