Managing and editing test requests in EMIS Web can be done efficiently using the system's Care Record functionalities. Here's how:
Adding Test Requests
Test requests can be added directly from the Care Record screen or within a consultation.
- From the Care Record: Navigate to the Care Record screen, use the Add option on the ribbon, and select Test Request.
- Within a Consultation: Access Consultations, start a new one if necessary, and use the Add button to choose Test Request.
Once there, you can select the appropriate test category like Haematology or Biochemistry. If you have additional requirements such as urgency or specific sample handling instructions, these options can be specified.
Editing and Deleting Test Requests
If you need to change a test request, this can be done directly in the system:
- To edit or add additional tests, select the test and click "Edit Request".
- For incorrect entries, you can use the red cross icon to remove the mistaken test.
- To delete a test request altogether, use the "Delete Request" option on the ribbon.
Managing Requests with Additional Requirements
You have options for indicating requests are urgent, fasted, or have an inoculation risk. These can be annotated under the Test Requests Details.
Adding test requests through the Care Record ribbon bypasses the need for a new consultation, saving time and streamlining workflow for busy practice environments.
Once a test request is confirmed, it can be managed from the Test Requests list, ensuring all administrative and clinical teams are aligned on the next steps.
