To modify the right-hand side message for variable use prescriptions in EMIS Web, follow these steps:

Navigate to Medication Configuration

  • Access the EMIS Web menu.
  • Select 'Care Record', then choose 'Medication'.
  • Click 'Config' on the ribbon to open the Medication Configuration screen.

Modify Right-hand Side Messages

  • In the Medication Configuration screen, locate the 'Right Hand Side' section under Organisation Options.
  • Here, you can adjust settings to enable or disable the printing of messages on the right-hand side of prescriptions. You can also choose to include a border around these messages.
  • To specify the text for messages, use the 'Practice/reminder/variable use message' field. This allows you to customise the message content, including mail merge variables such as a patient's nominated pharmacy.
"Customising right-hand side messages can significantly enhance the clarity and personalisation of information communicated to both patients and pharmacists."

Make sure you review and test these configurations to ensure they meet your organisation's needs and enhance communication through prescriptions effectively.
