To amend a patient’s Health and Care (H&C) number manually in EMIS Web, follow these steps:
Accessing Registration Workflow
Begin by opening the EMIS Web menu. Navigate through Workflow to select Workflow Manager. In the navigation pane, choose Registration. This step will display the Workflow Manager Registration screen.
"This procedure is essential for situations where a corrected H&C number has been provided by the health authority but they do not require notification via GP Links, thus streamlining the update process directly."
Amending the H&C Number
- From the ribbon, click Actions and then Amend H&C Number.
- Select the appropriate patient and press OK.
- Enter the new H&C number in the New H&C Number field on the displayed screen.
- Click OK to save the amendment to the patient’s record.
Important: Be aware that any changes made locally in EMIS Web do not result in notifications through GP Links and remain within your practice's records only.
