Upon receiving a new patient's record via GP2GP, it is crucial to promptly review and manage online visibility restrictions. With the upcoming EMIS Web updates, these restrictions will transfer automatically. However, manual review remains essential to ensure all confidentiality settings align with your practice's standards and patient preferences.
Reviewing Patient Records
Begin by navigating to Workflow Manager in EMIS Web. Select the GP2GP section under Records Received and choose Unfiled patient records. Here, you can filter the records by components such as allergies, consultations, and medications to streamline the review process.
Once you're satisfied with the record, file it using the appropriate options depending on whether tasks are required. Should any visibility restrictions need adjusting due to recent clinical considerations or patient requests, engage the appropriate clinical staff to update these settings.
Verifying Visibility Icon Indicators
The records marked with an online visibility icon require careful attention to ensure that the correct confidentiality protocols are upheld. This icon highlights areas of the record where specific access restrictions have been set. During the review, assess patient information with this icon to reconfirm its visibility status aligns with your practice's protocols.
This functionality ensures sensitive patient information is protected while maintaining essential access for care continuity.
