Configuring prescribing options for a user in EMIS Web involves tailoring the system to suit individual, PC-specific, and organisational needs, thereby improving the prescribing process. Here’s how you can do it:
Step-by-Step User-Specific Configuration
1. **Access User Configuration:** From the EMIS Web main menu, select Configuration, navigate to Organisation Configuration, and click the Users tab at the bottom of the navigation pane.
2. **Edit User Settings:** Locate the required user, then click on Edit User in the ribbon. In the left-hand pane, choose Role and adjust the settings as needed, ensuring fields such as Authorise Prescriptions, Permit Medication Issue Warning Override, and Formulary are correctly set. Finalise by clicking OK to save changes.
Configuring Medication Options
For configuring medication options more generally, follow these steps:
1. **Access Medication Configuration:** Click the EMIS Web menu, point to Care Record, and select Medication. Use the Config button on the ribbon to bring up the Medication Configuration screen.
2. **Set Organisation and User Preferences:** Adjust settings from options such as Organisation Options for setting compliance thresholds and repeat prescription policies or User Options for customising views.
By effectively configuring these settings, practices can ensure a streamlined prescribing process, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing patient safety.
