EMIS Web Consultation Write Back
The Consultation Write Back feature will allow organisations that are connected via an enterprise agreements to receive a copy of any consultation notes (inc meds, clinical codes and documents) added to a patient’s record in a PCN Hub.
Emis Web Consultation Write Back will copy any consultation notes, clinical codes, medications and clinical documents from the PCN Hub (Emis Web Clinical Services) back to the patients GP Care Record. This is enabled by an Enterprise Data Sharing Agreement (WI8001 form) between the hub and GP Practices within a PCN. The Enterprise Agreement must be activated by the hub and GP Practice. For some organisations this will replace Remote Consultations.
Benefits include:
- More than one organisation can be included in the agreement
- Appointments can be created across the organisations
- Organisations within the agreement can view the full consultation details
- Fewer delays in care
- Test requests are not subjected to delays as they take place immediately
- Referrals can also be made without the patient needing to go back to their registered clinician/GP.
