To effectively manage lab reports in EMIS Web, it’s essential to set up and fine-tune your MESH (Message Exchange for Social care and Health) mailboxes. This process ensures the seamless delivery of laboratory reports directly to your practice's workflow, saving time and minimising errors.
Adding or Editing a MESH Mailbox
