How to Complete a High-Security Patient Deduction
High-security patient deductions allow you to remove a patient from your EMIS Web organisation records without transmitting a deduction request to your trading partner. This is typically done under special circumstances (for example, when requested by a health authority).
Steps to perform a high-security deduction:
- In EMIS Web, access Registration Workflow.
- Locate the patient's record that you want to deduct.
- On the ribbon, select Actions (this option lets you amend your records locally).
- Choose the high-security deduction option if prompted, or a similar manual deduction route.
- Enter the relevant deduction reason and date, then confirm.
This process updates the patient's status as deducted in your local EMIS Web system but does not generate a GP Links message. Make sure you archive the patient once deducted to remove them from searches and avoid future updates.
