EMIS Web plays a crucial role in enhancing interoperability within healthcare IT systems, ensuring efficient and secure sharing of patient information across diverse healthcare providers. By aligning with international standards like SNOMED CT and FHIR, EMIS Web facilitates seamless communication and data exchange between different systems, enhancing care quality and coordination.
Key Features of EMIS Interoperability
- GP Connect: This functionality enables healthcare organisations to share and access patient records securely. It covers various aspects, including viewing a patient's read-only medical record, managing appointments, and facilitating structured data access using FHIR.
- Digital Medicines: EMIS Web supports FHIR-based messaging for pharmacy information, allowing GPs to be notified about vaccines and emergency medicine supplies.
- Transfer of Care Initiative: This involves the use of FHIR messages to convey hospital information to GP practices, ensuring that discharge summaries and outpatient letters are shared promptly.
Integration with National Standards
EMIS Web integrates with several national standards, including the NHS Spine, which comprises services such as Personal Demographics Service, Electronic Prescription Service (EPS), and Summary Care Record (SCR). These facilitate accurate patient identification and seamless sharing of key medical information across healthcare settings.
"GP Connect streamlines the sharing and access of patient records, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions promptly and reducing the administrative burden on healthcare providers."
