In EMIS Web, you can cancel both repeat dispensing issues and courses efficiently, ensuring accurate management of patient medications. Here's how to handle cancellations:
Cancelling Repeat Dispensing Issues
To cancel a repeat dispensing issue, follow the same process as cancelling a standard medication issue. Navigate to the patient's Medication screen, select the issue you wish to cancel, and confirm the cancellation. Note that you can configure EMIS Web to prompt you with the option to cancel the entire prescription, provided it meets specific criteria, such as having future issues outstanding and not being an EPS prescription.
"EMIS Web automates certain cancellation processes, ensuring efficiency and reducing the risk of incomplete cancellations."
Cancelling Repeat Dispensing Courses
For cancelling an entire repeat dispensing course, simply follow the usual procedure for cancelling a medication course. If there are future issues not yet dispensed, a warning message will alert you, allowing you to confirm the cancellation. Remember, repeat medications do not automatically expire, so it's crucial to cancel them to ensure they don't appear on the Current Medication screen.
EMIS Web's systematic process ensures that cancelled items are removed during regular system updates, maintaining clear and accurate records.
