Hero Health - EMIS Web Support Guide

How does EMIS flexibility with partner products improve the functionality of its healthcare IT systems?

Interoperability
Advanced

EMIS Web's flexibility with partner products significantly enhances the functionality of its healthcare IT systems by supporting a wide range of interoperable solutions. Meeting recognised standards like SNOMED CT and FHIR enables EMIS to work smoothly with various healthcare organisations, ensuring accurate, timely, and informed patient care.

EMIS Web Interoperability Features

GP Connect: This capability allows healthcare organisations to share patient data securely across different IT systems. Key functionalities include accessing patient records in an HTML view by authorised personnel, managing appointments like booking and cancellation across platforms, and viewing structured clinical data.

Digital Medicines and Transfer of Care: These functionalities utilise FHIR messaging standards to bridge communication between pharmacies, hospitals, and GPs. This includes sending updates on vaccines and emergency medicines directly to a patient's GP practice, ensuring a comprehensive care record is maintained.

Interoperable Interfaces

EMIS Web integrates with various national standards, such as:

  • Summary Care Record (SCR): Allows authorised healthcare staff to view a summary of vital patient information for enhanced decision-making in urgent and emergency care settings.
  • Electronic Prescription Service (EPS): Facilitates secure electronic prescription transfers.
  • GP2GP: Enables seamless transfer of electronic patient records between GP practices, enhancing continuity of care.
"By enabling interoperable communication across systems, EMIS Web helps streamline patient care processes and ensures clinicians have access to up-to-date information, thus saving valuable time for both patients and healthcare providers."
