Assigning a patient to an automatic prescription group in EMIS Web streamlines the prescribing process by automatically generating prescriptions at set intervals, reducing administrative workload and ensuring medication compliance. Here’s how you can assign a patient:
Steps to Assign a Patient to an Automatic Prescription Group
- Access Patient Record: Open the EMIS Web system and navigate to the patient's record. Ensure you have selected the correct patient using the 'Patient Find' feature.
- Navigate to Medication Section: Click on the EMIS Web menu, select 'Care Record', and then 'Medication'.
- Select Prescription Settings: Once in the Medication screen, click on 'Config' to display the Medication Configuration screen.
- Assign to a Group: Within the configuration, you can assign the patient to an automatic prescription group by selecting the appropriate group from the available options.
- Save Changes: Make sure to save the configuration settings to ensure the patient is correctly assigned.
Using automatic prescription groups can significantly reduce the time spent on manual prescription processes, allowing practitioners to focus more on patient care.
Note: Make sure that your role on EMIS Web allows you to modify these settings. If you encounter any restrictions, consult with your system administrator for the necessary permissions.
By leveraging this functionality, practice administrators and clinicians can ensure that prescriptions are issued promptly, reducing the risk of missed doses and supporting better health outcomes through consistent medication management.
