To configure nurse prescribers with their NMC code in EMIS Clinical Services, follow these steps:
Access Organisation Configuration
Start by accessing your EMIS Web menu and navigating to Configuration. Under Organisation Configuration, locate the Users tab.
Edit User Roles
Select the user you need to configure and click on Edit User. In the left-hand pane, choose Role and ensure all relevant prescriber settings are correctly assigned. You will need to ensure the Nurse's NMC code is entered without the need for a Spurious Code.
Set Prescribing Permissions
Update the settings to allow the nurse prescriber to issue prescriptions. It’s crucial to confirm that the Authorise Prescriptions and Permit Medication Issue Warning Override options are enabled to facilitate the nurse’s prescribing capability.
"Configuring nurse prescribers with the correct NMC code and permissions ensures compliance and optimises your practice's workflow, significantly reducing administrative delays and errors."
Benefits of Correct Configuration
Correctly setting up nurse prescribers helps in reducing prescription errors and ensures that medication is dispensed accurately. This configuration also supports faster care delivery, as nurses can directly prescribe and manage patient care without unnecessary obstacles.
