What are the different options available on the Diary ribbon in EMIS Web?

The Diary ribbon in EMIS Web provides a variety of functions to manage patient-related tasks effectively and efficiently. Here's a detailed look at the available options:

• Add: This function is used to add various elements to a patient's care record, such as codes, allergies, consultations, referrals, documents, diary entries, and test requests.
• Edit: Allows you to modify selected tasks or diary entries, ensuring that updates or corrections are swiftly applied to a patient’s record.
• Complete: This option marks a diary entry as completed. Completed entries will show in the consultation as finished, maintaining a clear record of activities.
• Delete: Use this option to remove tasks or diary entries that are no longer relevant.
• Sharing: Controls whether a patient’s EMIS Web record can be shared or viewed by other organisations, crucial for maintaining patient confidentiality or facilitating collaborative care.
• Auto-Template: Run a template containing the necessary prompts to address entries in the planned items section. This is especially useful for handling QOF alerts efficiently.
• View: Use this to filter diary entries by current items, past appointments, and completed tasks or test requests, allowing a comprehensive yet simplified view of the patient’s history.
• Print: Offers several printing options, including summaries and attachment printouts, to facilitate sharing or filing.

The flexibility of the Diary ribbon ensures a streamlined workflow, helping practice administrators, general practitioners, and other clinicians manage patient care promptly and accurately.
