To add a test request directly from the Care Record screen in EMIS Web, start by accessing the Care Record through the EMIS Web menu. If you do not have a patient selected, you will be prompted to do so using Patient Find.
Adding a Test Request
Once you're in the Care Record section, follow these steps:
- Click Add in the ribbon menu at the top of the screen.
- Select Test Request, then choose Offline Test Request from the dropdown menu.
From the Template Runner screen, you can select the category of the test you wish to request, such as Haematology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, or Immunology. Tests from the selected category will display on the right-hand pane. You can also enter a custom test request if "Other Test Requests" is enabled.
Finalising the Test Request
Choose the test(s) required and click OK. You will now see the Test Requests Details screen. Here you can:
- Remove a mistakenly requested test by clicking the red cross next to it.
- Edit a test or add more by clicking Edit Request.
- Delete the request if necessary.
To indicate specific requirements, you can select the Urgent, Fasted, or Inoculation Risk options. Add any necessary clinical information in the Clinical Details field.
"Quickly adding test requests from the Care Record screen streamlines administrative tasks, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care."
After setting up the test request details, choose either Sample Taken or Sample Later. If choosing Sample Later, select a date and assign the task to a team or user as needed. You can also print request forms by selecting Print Request Form(s). Click OK to add the test request to the patient's record.
