EMIS Web provides multiple ways to add documents to a patient's care record, primarily via the Care Record module. This functionality is crucial for maintaining comprehensive and up-to-date patient records and enhances data accessibility across different functionalities within the system.
Adding Documents
Documents can be added to patient records mainly through the following screens:
- Documents Screen: Navigate to Care Record, select 'Documents', and use the 'Add' option to attach new or existing documents. You can create letters either from scratch or using a pre-defined template, ensuring consistency and efficiency in documentation.
- Consultations and Care History Screens: Access these modules to attach documents, allowing documentation to be directly associated with specific consultations and historical records.
- View Documents Screen: This screen allows users to manage and send documents to external providers or internal departments, ensuring seamless communication and information flow.
While adding documents, users can annotate to highlight specific areas or information within the document. It’s important to correctly categorize documents using clinical coding wherever necessary to maintain clarity and meet quality standards like QOF achievement.
"Utilizing the variety of document management features in EMIS Web not only keeps patient records thorough and precise but significantly saves time for healthcare professionals by streamlining access to necessary documents."
