In EMIS Web, the warning icon for unmatched medication is a critical indicator used to highlight discrepancies in medication records. When a user sees this icon, it signifies that the prescribed medication does not have a direct match in the EMIS Web system.

Resolving Unmatched Medications

To address this, you should verify the medication details against the patient's prescription and attempt to reconcile the entry with the available database:

  • Access Medication: Navigate to the Medication screen from the EMIS Web menu.
  • Select the Unmatched Medication: Click the entry with the warning icon.
  • Correct and Match: Use available filters and search options to find the correct match from the database and reconcile it with the patient record.
  • Confirm Update: Once matched, confirm the updated correct entry to remove the warning icon.
The use of warning icons ensures practitioners verify unmatched entries, maintaining accurate and current medical records, which is crucial for patient safety.

Making timely and accurate corrections to medication records saves time and helps prevent potential errors in patient care.
