The Bulk Signing feature in EMIS Web allows clinicians to efficiently process multiple prescriptions by signing them in bulk, rather than individually. This feature can be accessed primarily through the Awaiting Signing folder under the Medicine Management module. Here's how you can make use of this functionality:

Using Bulk Signing

To begin bulk signing EPS tasks:

  • Navigate to the Medicine Management area.
  • Select the Awaiting Signing folder.
  • Ensure you have the appropriate Workflow View enabled.
  • Select a task and click on Bulk Signing from the ribbon.

A screen will appear displaying the tasks available for bulk signing. You may select all items on this page, or pick specific tasks to approve.

"With Bulk Signing, you can process Awaiting Signing tasks significantly faster, reducing administrative overhead and streamlining practice operations."

Tips for Effective Bulk Signing

  • Use the Select All feature to quickly select tasks on a page. Approving these moves you to the next page, maintaining performance.
  • Address any warnings or necessary attention during the process without unchecked items being removed from the list.
  • Remember that changes to a patient’s record in terms of demographics, drug details, or other key areas will remove tasks from Bulk Signing.

Safety First: Tasks requiring reauthorisation, have allergies, or high-severity warnings will not show up for bulk signing to ensure patient safety.
