How does adding a reminder affect reprinting a prescription in EMIS Web?

When adding a reminder to a prescription in EMIS Web, the reminder note is automatically printed on the next prescription that is either added, issued, or reprinted for that patient. To add a reminder, select 'Send Reminder' from the Patient Actions on the ribbon when in the Medication module. This ensures that the reminder note is consistently printed on each prescription for the specified patient. The reminder can include vital information like upcoming medication reviews or any personal instructions.

If you regularly work with numerous patients and prescriptions, the ability to add reminder notes on prescriptions can significantly enhance efficiency and ensure important patient compliance messages are consistently communicated.

To customise the text of the reminder, navigate to the Medication Configuration screen, choose Organisation Options, and input the preferred reminder text in the designated section. This allows for a tailor-made communication strategy that aligns with your organisation's needs.
