Editing a preferred pharmacy in EMIS Web is a straightforward process. By ensuring that the preferred pharmacy is accurately updated, practices can streamline medication management and improve patient care. Follow these steps to edit a preferred pharmacy:

Access the Patient Record

To begin, navigate to the patient's record within EMIS Web. This can be done through the Patient Find function or by accessing the Care Record directly if the patient's record is already open.

Open the Medication Module

Within the patient's record, select the Medication option on the main menu. This grants access to various medication-related settings and configurations specific to the patient.

Edit Pharmacy Preferences

Once in the Medication module, locate the option to manage preferred pharmacies. Here, you can update the details of the preferred pharmacy or add a new one if necessary. Make sure the changes are saved to ensure they are applied in future prescriptions.

By selecting a preferred pharmacy, you improve efficiency and maintain consistency in medication handling, ultimately supporting better patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

These steps help ensure that the chosen pharmacy is easily accessible whenever a prescription is issued, enhancing the workflow for practice administrators and clinicians alike.
