To process medication degrade tasks in Workflow Manager:

Access GP2GP in Workflow Manager

Medication degrade tasks can be managed through the GP2GP section of your Workflow Manager. Click the EMIS Web menu, select Workflow Manager, then navigate to GP2GP. In the Records Received section, select Medication Authorisation to access actionable tasks.

Manage Medication Degrade Tasks

Each medication degrade task appears in the GP2GP workflow for you to assess and process. You have the option to:

  • Authorise the medication: Use this action to approve the medication for further use after reviewing its details.
  • Move to Past Drugs: Marks the medication as no longer in use but maintains it within the record.
  • Add a Clinical Term: Correct the degrade by adding an appropriate clinical term to the item directly within the Workflow Manager task.

Benefits of Processing Degrades

"Completing medication degrade tasks helps secure patient safety by ensuring all medications are accurately coded, thus preventing potential prescribing errors."

Appropriate Clinical Action

It is pivotal that clinicians handle medication and allergy degrade tasks due to the clinical expertise required, ensuring that all treatments are safe and appropriately recorded. Always ensure that your changes are clinically accurate before filing them in the patient's record.
