Pharmacies can request repeat medications on a patient’s behalf using the Medicines Manager tool integrated with EMIS Web. Here’s how you can facilitate this process effectively:
Activation Requirements
To use Medicines Manager, pharmacies need to be connected with GP practices via ProScript and have EPS enabled. Activation should be initially processed by the GP organisation, followed by action from the pharmacy.
Streamline Your Workflow: By communicating effectively between GP sites and pharmacies, repeat prescriptions can be managed more efficiently, saving time and reducing administrative burden.
Process for Pharmacies
Once Medicines Manager is active, pharmacies can request repeat prescriptions as needed:
- The pharmacy contacts EMIS Community Pharmacy to activate their ProScript Connect for Medicines Manager functionality.
- Ensures that all necessary configurations in EMIS Web are set up correctly for the GP practice.
Handling Requests in EMIS Web
When a pharmacy submits a prescription request, it appears in the Medicine Management section of Workflow Manager within EMIS Web. Here, practice staff can approve or reject these requests efficiently, similar to handling Patient Access Requests. This seamless integration ensures minimal disruption and maintains patient care continuity.
