To add or edit documents within the Care Record of EMIS Web, specific permissions known as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) need to be assigned to users. Primarily, the Add/Edit role is crucial for enabling this functionality. Without these permissions, users will find these options disabled on their interface.
Having the right permissions not only enables document management but also boosts information accessibility, streamlining clinical workflows and improving patient care quality.
Editing Documents
Users can edit documents solely from the Documents screen. On this screen, the permission to edit allows for altering document properties and annotating files where necessary. Select the appropriate document, and then click on the Edit button on the ribbon to make your amendments.
Attaching and Creating New Documents
Documents can be created from scratch or attached if they already exist. Access the Care Record from the EMIS Web menu, then navigate via the ‘Add Document’ option. Here, the choice to create a letter from a blank template or using an existing one lies within the functionality of the system.
Ensure documents are correctly linked to clinical codes or referrals for efficiency. This helps in maintaining organised and searchable records, which is vital for QOF (Quality and Outcomes Framework) achievements and streamlined clinical processes.
The ability to annotate documents and convert file types to PDFs in EMIS Web? - turning administrative tasks into a seamless action that supports both clinical accuracy and time-saving practices - is invaluable.
In certain cases, users may also benefit from features such as Hero Health's Care Navigation & Triage which integrates seamlessly with EMIS Web to enhance patient engagement and streamline appointment processes. This capability empowers patients to manage their own care efficiently.
