All over the UK EMIS Web is helping NHS organisations to reduce patient waiting times, cut the costs of communication and put information at the fingertips of the healthcare professionals that need it – when they need it.
With EMIS Web, secure cross organisational record sharing is possible between GP practices and extended care services such as out of hours, joint injections, diabetes clinics – plus many more.
Extended care practitioners are able to view the aspects of the patient’s core GP record that are relevant to them – ‘all but only’ the data they need – with consent given verbally by the patient each time. For example, clinicians treating a patient at a diabetic clinic will be able to see any recent blood pressure or HBA1C readings taken at the patient’s GP practice. In turn, any data recorded by the clinician is shared with the patient’s GP.
Driving down costs
Some of the results being reported by NHS organisations already using EMIS Web include:
- reduction in duplicate tests
- no longer chasing for patient information
- daily timesaving
- no duplicate entry of demographic details
- assisting with prevention of clinical error
- postive feedback from patients
- search and reports data obtained electronically.
Designed for extended care professionals
As well as secure data sharing, EMIS Web provides extended care professionals with essential functionality to help them in their everyday management of patient care.
This is tailored to each type of healthcare professional based on their role, for example, logging on to EMIS Web at an anti-coagulation clinic will present the user with specific anti-coagulation templates to quickly and consistently capture relevant data.
It's a far more efficient way of working
