In EMIS Web, formulary management is an integral part of the prescribing process aimed at promoting the safe and efficient use of medications. It allows practices to customise a list of preferred medications tailored to local guidelines, ensuring that prescribers have access to a curated selection of drugs.
Managing Formularies
All users are assigned to at least one formulary within EMIS Web. This formulary guides the selection process when prescribing medication, helping streamline choices to those deemed most suitable by the practice or healthcare organisation. This process helps maintain consistency and adherence to best practice guidelines across the board.
Formulary Alerts
When you attempt to reissue or prescribe a new medication that is not included in your assigned formulary, an alert is displayed. This ensures that prescribers double-check the necessity and appropriateness of the medication, supporting clinical governance policies.
Leveraging formulary management can save time and prevent medication errors, as it highlights the most effective and approved medications for patient treatment plans.
