Looking back whilst we spring forward

Spring 2024

2023 was a year of upgrades and new releases, with a focus on making your user experience the best it can be. Here’s a look back at some of the key things you need to know about.

Working with the EMIS team on a project like this has been a breath of fresh air.” Osman Bhatti, St Andrew’s Health Centre, London EMIS-X Pilot In 2023 we worked closely with practices who were taking part in our early-adopter programme. These pilot sites were lucky enough to get hands-on experience using the software and provided us with valuable feedback to help us develop and enhance the features. Over 5,500 users took part.

Consultation Writeback (PCN Hub) This functionality was upgraded in our EMIS Web PCN Hub solution to make it easier for groups of GP practices to work together. Using EMIS Web PCN Hub, any GP can access a patient’s medical history and along with Consultation Writeback can write notes that are saved in a patient’s record as well as the record with the individual’s registered GP.

GP Connect Send Document functionality supports joined-up collaborative working by enabling practices to send a PDF consultation summary back to a patient’s registered GP practice workflow. This is helpful for instances where a consultation has been recorded elsewhere, for example; extended GP hours services.
