We have noticed an issue with the EMIS Concept MH001 – this appears to have been edited early November by EMIS, who changed the logic from OR to AND with concepts MH1 and MH2.  These look at mental health codes and lithium prescriptions respectively.  Obviously we would want any patients who have EITHER mental codes OR lithium prescriptions to be in MH001, but with the current logic only those with MH codes AND lithium prescriptions will trigger this.

This has quite significant consequences to the red box, OneTemplates and OneMonitoring, meaning that many patients with mental health problems may not appear as such.  We have flagged this as an urgent problem with EMIS and are hoping it will be rectified soon.

  • EMIS Web crashing?

    We are sure you’ve seen the email from EMIS about issues with their system. Some of our users have already been reporting issues with EMIS crashing when trying to launch templates. As you can see this is a known issue with EMIS which has been acknowledged and is being actioned. Primary Care IT are doing everything we can to look for workarounds or alternative ways of using the system to try to mitigate the impact. We have started the rollout of 2021/22 OneResults and OneMonitoring which will give practices access to everything QOF related. In the meantime, we suggest that every time an issue is encountered you report this to EMIS so that they understand the impact this is having. You can do this through EMIS Now: https://www.emisnow.com/csm

    We’re really pleased that the recent EMIS update seems to have fixed the issues that some users were experiencing with launching templates including our OneTemplate. This should mean that all users can now load this without any issues. We’ve been busy in the background creating a very much slimmed down version of the template, so if anyone is still having issues then please drop us a support ticket https://support.primarycareit.co.uk/portal/en-gb/newticket and we can install this for you.
