The GP Workload tool in EMIS Web is a vital feature for managing and distributing appointment tasks effectively within general practices. This tool provides a comprehensive overview of appointment sessions, allowing administrators and clinicians to coordinate the daily and weekly workloads efficiently across the practice.

Setting Up the GP Workload Tool

To use the GP Workload tool, navigate to the Appointments Configuration screen in EMIS Web. This menu allows you to configure the appointment settings according to user-specific or organisation-wide requirements. Set preferences for user display and configure session timings to match the practice's operational needs.

Administrators can create session templates for recurring appointments, ensuring that all clinicians have a clear, coordinated schedule while providing flexibility to make real-time adjustments as necessary. This functionality is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency, especially during high-demand periods.

Streamline your practice's workflow by configuring automatic session management, which ensures optimal resource distribution and minimises gaps in clinician availability.

Benefits of Using the GP Workload Tool

The GP Workload tool not only helps in managing appointments but also reduces the administrative burden by automating several management tasks. With effective workload distribution, practices can ensure better time management and appointment efficiency, leading to improved patient satisfaction.
