EMIS is the UK's
leading IT supplier in primary
healthcare, hosting over 39 million
electronic patient records (EPRs)
within its systems. Around 55 per
cent of doctors in the UK currently
use EMIS software each day.
The award-winning EMIS Access
enables patients to book
appointments at their GP surgery
over the internet. Patients can
view, book, or cancel appointments
online and often find it very useful
for those times when the practice is
closed or telephone lines are busy.
The website has been carefully
designed for ease of use for all
types of people and as many
different browsers as possible. The
project is proving particularly
popular with the 'silver surfers',
as internet enabled pensioners have
no difficulty using the easy to
follow screens.
The latest EMIS Access feature
allows patients to request repeat
prescriptions from the comfort of
their own home. Without visiting the
practice, patients can use the
internet to quickly order any repeat
prescriptions that are due. EMIS
Access delivers the request directly
to the practice, and once processed,
patients can simply collect the
prescription from the practice.
To register
on-line, please ask the receptionist
for a website registration form,
which generates a PIN number to
enable you to set up access from
your own computer. Please note
that this form can only be given to
the requesting patient and their
children under the age of 12.
Spouses and children above the age
of 12 must request the form
themselves.
