EMIS Group is the UK’s leading supplier of software and related services to GP practices, with approximately 39 million patient records in the UK held on EMIS’ software.
Established in 1987, EMIS’ core activities include software licensing and support, hosting, hardware sales, hardware support and maintenance services, third party software sales and training services.
The Group’s software includes all of the functionality as specified in NHS accreditation standards for GPs, including holding the patient’s cradle to grave healthcare record, practice appointment booking systems and consultation and intelligent prescribing modules.
EMIS Web represents the next generation of clinical software systems and the Directors believe it has the potential to transform the delivery of healthcare. The benefits of EMIS Web include:
- enabling GPs and other healthcare practitioners across extended primary care and community care environments, as well as some elements of secondary care, to connect with each other and securely share access to a patient’s cradle to grave electronic health record;
- eliminating the need to re-input or duplicate information thereby reducing the risk of prescribing and treatment errors; and
- saving the time and cost associated with the administration of patient appointments.
In August 2010 EMIS Group acquired 78.9% of RX Systems Limited, a supplier of integrated pharmacy and retail systems for high street pharmacies.
The future integration of EMIS Web and RX Systems Limited's ProScript® dispensary management system will enable further streamlining of electronic prescription services, benefiting patients, GPs and pharmacies.
