Configuring your homepage
EMIS Web lets you customise your homepage so it fits the way you work. In the top right corner, select Configure Homepage to see all the available options. You can:
- Display appointments: Tick Show Appointments, then pick the session holder or location if you want to see clinics or sessions as soon as you log in.
- Add a Quick Launch Menu: Choose Configure to pick items you use most, such as Care Record or Tasks. This saves time by letting you jump straight to key sections.
- Organisation Notepad: Post messages for colleagues about upcoming meetings or helpful reminders.
- RSS feeds: Adjust the font size and even add your own feeds to keep up with news without leaving EMIS Web.
Why this is helpful
By arranging the homepage to suit your daily tasks, you reduce clicks and make sure key information/tools are in easy reach. Administrators might tailor the homepage for quick access to appointment lists, while GPs could focus on clinical modules. This flexibility helps everyone work more effectively.
"Customising the Quick Launch Menu saves me minutes every day, especially when I’m juggling multiple tasks."
Quick tip: If you use shortcuts for vital EMIS Web modules, you can access them straight from your homepage with just one click. This cuts down on navigation time and helps you concentrate on tasks that matter most.
