How can non-prescribing staff create signing tasks for electronic prescriptions while respecting safety validation checks?

Creating Signing Tasks for Electronic Prescriptions

Accessing Medicine Management

Log into EMIS Web and select Workflow Manager. Navigate to Medicine Management from the navigation panel. Ensure you have the necessary RBAC permissions.

Creating a Signing Task

• Log in using your smartcard.
• Select the pertinent medication(s) to issue, and click Issue.
• If the Issue Validation screen shows safety validation warnings, you must have the Permit Medication Issue Warning Override option in your user settings to proceed.
• If there are medium or high severity warnings, you might only be allowed to create a prescription request.
• If everything is in order, specify the prescriber in the 'To be signed by' field who will handle the task.
• Select Forward and Complete to create the task.

The request will be placed in the Awaiting Signing folder for the selected prescriber.

Handling Prescription Requests

• Select the request from Prescription Requests in the navigation pane.
• Use the Open option to view and process the task on the Workflow Task screen.
• Administrative tasks such as adding notes or assigning the task to another user can be performed from here.

By ensuring your settings align with these guidelines, non-prescribing staff can effectively create signing tasks, enabling efficient prescription management within the EMIS Web system.
