To create an admin task in EMIS Web that isn’t linked to a patient, follow these steps:
Access the Tasks Module
Begin by accessing the Tasks module through the Workflow Manager:
- Click on the EMIS Web menu.
- Point to Workflow, select Workflow Manager, and then click on Tasks in the navigation pane.
Create a New Admin Task
With the Tasks screen open, follow these steps:
- On the ribbon, click Add Task.
- In the Task Details screen, beside the Task Type field, click the drop-down icon and select the appropriate task type for admin tasks.
- If a patient name is displayed, ensure you have selected a non-patient task type to correctly attribute it as an admin task.
- In the Subject field, type a brief description of the task.
- In the Due Date field, input the deadline for task completion using the calendar icon, if needed.
- Beside the To field, click the search icon to find and select the recipient user or team.
- If sending to multiple recipients, check the option All Recipients to Action Task, if required, ensuring each recipient takes action on their task.
- In the Notes field, provide detailed descriptions or instructions for the task.
- If the task is high-priority, select the Urgent option.
- Click Send to allocate the task to the assigned recipients. Their To-Do List will reflect this task, and you’ll find a copy in your Sent Tasks list.
Admin tasks improve organisational efficiency by enabling practice staff to streamline workflow management for non-patient-related responsibilities, ensuring that administrative duties are executed smoothly.
