In EMIS Web, it is indeed possible to print information related to a dummy patient. This capability is typically utilised for training and demonstration purposes, allowing users to simulate operations without interacting with real patient data. This can be beneficial for onboarding new staff or testing new workflows within your practice. Notably, the information printed will indicate clearly that it pertains to a dummy patient to avoid any confusion with real patient records.

Using a dummy patient allows staff to practice and refine their skills without the risk of accidental data entry or alteration to actual patient records. This ensures a safe training environment and preserves patient confidentiality.

When setting up or managing dummy patients, always ensure that any printed documents are disposed of or stored appropriately after use to maintain secure handling practices, even though they do not contain real patient information.
