Accessing and modifying a patient’s registration status in EMIS Web is a crucial function provided within the Registration Workflow, ensuring that patient records are accurately maintained and updated within your practice. Here's how you can manually add or remove a patient’s registration status:
Access the Registration Workflow
To begin, open EMIS Web, hover or click on Workflow from the main menu, then select Workflow Manager and choose Registration from the navigation pane.
Navigate to Manual Status Modification
Within the Registration Workflow screen, go to the ribbon, select Actions, and then click on Manual Status Modification. From here, select the appropriate patient whose registration status needs modifying.
Modify the Registration Status
- For adding a new status, click on Add Status, choose the desired status from the list, enter the effective date, and any necessary notes before confirming with OK.
- To remove an inaccurate status, select Delete Status, then confirm by clicking Yes.
Be mindful that when you manually modify statuses, no transmissions are sent to trading partners; changes are made exclusively within your local EMIS Web environment.
This functionality is essential in maintaining the accuracy of patient records quickly and efficiently, especially when resolving electronic transmission issues or updating inaccurate registration data.
