Using Remote Consultation in combination with Consultation Write Back within EMIS Web allows clinicians to access and update patient records directly from a PCN Hub seamlessly. Here's how this process works:
Accessing Patient Records
Clinicians can begin a consultation at the PCN Hub from a booking that originates from a GP Practice. This cross-organisational slot booking opens an instance of EMIS, allowing access to the patient's GP record remotely. The clinician can view clinical and document templates just as if they were at the practice itself. This integrated access helps provide holistic care without compromising on the quality of information available to the clinician.
Updating Patient Records
Should there be a need to issue an Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
By using Consultation Write Back, updates made during the consultation at the hub are automatically recorded in the patient’s main GP record. This process bypasses the traditional necessity for Care Record Sharing agreements or demographic data imports, thus saving significant administrative time and effort.
Remote Consultation ensures a comprehensive approach to patient care by removing location-based barriers, enhancing the responsiveness and quality of healthcare.
