EMIS Web ensures robust management of prescribing and medication through its advanced feature set. However, users may occasionally encounter code-related issues within the system. Common issues typically involve errors or discrepancies related to drug codes, prescribing status indicators, and interaction warnings.
Handling Code-Related Issues
Safety Pop-up Alerts: EMIS Web provides safety pop-up alerts to ensure that any potential prescribing hazards are highlighted, such as contraindications, interaction warnings, or duplicate drug content. These alerts are indicated by severity levels and must be addressed to continue with prescribing.
Prescribing Status Indicators: Codes indicating the prescribing status are shown as icons in the medication picking list. These icons are essential for identifying controlled drugs, unlicensed items, and those requiring careful consideration like cytotoxic drugs.
Concurrency Checks: When multiple users access a patient's record, concurrency checks ensure duplicate actions are avoided by showing warning messages if one user attempts to issue a request already processed by another.
Medication Reviews: Regularly scheduled medication reviews are critical. EMIS Web allows setting specific review dates, ensuring medications are regularly evaluated for efficacy and safety.
Time-saving is achieved through automated alerts and checks, reducing the need for manual verification and support consistent and safer prescribing practices.
