Editing a referral in EMIS Web is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to make changes to a referral:
Access Referrals
First, navigate to the EMIS Web menu. Point to Care Record and select Referrals. This will open the Referrals section where you can view and manage patient referrals.
Search for the Referral
If needed, utilise the Search View option on the ribbon to locate the specific referral you want to edit. Enter the required text or clinical term in the search box and select the referral from the displayed results.
Edit the Referral
Once you have identified the referral, select it and click Edit on the ribbon. In the Referral Letter field, choose Edit Now to update the referral's details. After making the necessary changes, save your edits by clicking OK. The referral will be updated in the system.
Editing referrals ensures that the information is accurate, allowing for improved coordination and communication with referral targets. This can ultimately save time and reduce manual correction efforts.
Additional Tips
- Always ensure that no actions have been performed on a referral before attempting to delete it. If a referral has been accepted or added to an assessment list, you may need to handle it via the Patient Administration system.
- Consider linking the edited referral to relevant problems in the patient's record to provide context and aid in continuity of care.
