The Electronic Prescription Tracker is a crucial tool for those using the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) in EMIS Web. It allows users to monitor the status and location of an electronic prescription seamlessly.

System Requirements

To effectively use the Electronic Prescription Tracker, it is essential to ensure you have an active EMIS Web session and that your smartcard is configured correctly. Users will need the appropriate Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) roles to access the tracker and manage electronic prescriptions within the system.

"The EPS prescription tracker enables the auditing of electronic prescriptions, significantly reducing the risk of unaccounted prescription losses and simplifying the cancellation process before dispensing."

These functionalities help streamline the prescription process, reducing the physical paperwork and allowing both prescribers and dispensers to track and manage prescriptions efficiently. The tracker ensures that prescriptions are accounted for until they are dispensed, enhancing both the security and efficiency of the process within NHS primary care settings.

Overall, using the Electronic Prescription Tracker aids in maintaining a more controlled and monitored approach to prescription management, which is invaluable in a fast-paced healthcare environment.
