In EMIS Web, when registering a patient, you have the option to select a patient registration type.

Different patient registration types trigger different behaviours.

The pre-defined EMIS patient registration types include:

• Emergency
• Private
• Regular
• Temporary
• Dummy
• Other

You can configure which registration types are available for your practice. Generally speaking, private GP practices will want to utilise:

• Private - These patients are permanently registered at the practice. They will be included in your practice's EMIS reporting.
• Temporary - These patients are temporarily registered at the practice, and after either 15 or 90 days their registration will expire.
