How are allergies and adverse reactions recorded in EMIS Web?

Care record
Beginner

To record allergies and adverse reactions in EMIS Web, navigate to the patient's care record. Select the Allergies section, which typically appears under the medical history area of the interface. Use the Add option to insert new allergy details. You will be prompted to enter specific data such as allergen names, severity of reactions, and any notes related to patient history or treatment considerations.

Efficient Record Management

EMIS Web's user-friendly interface ensures that both allergies and adverse reactions are input systematically, benefitting from real-time syncing across all authorised users within a practice. This functionality facilitates a standardised approach to capturing critical clinical data, potentially avoiding adverse incidents.

Recording allergies accurately can significantly reduce the risk of patient harm and is a pivotal aspect of patient care management.

Maximising EMIS Web's Potential

Incorporating comprehensive allergy data into patient records ensures that clinicians at all levels are informed, enabling better decision-making and patient safety. It simplifies transitions in care by providing a clear historical record maintained in a centralised system.

Did You Know?

The Hero Health platform offers integrations with EMIS Web, enhancing functionality. For example, Hero Health's online booking feature allows patients to schedule appointments directly through your GP practice's website, which can be particularly useful for follow-ups related to allergy management. Empowering patients to manage appointments independently saves administrative time and increases patient satisfaction.
