EMIS Web Templates

To do everything…

Primary Care IT has developed an incredible suite of EMIS Web templates. These templates work dynamically, showing only what is needed for the presenting patient. This means only a handful of templates are needed rather than many individual templates, and these are also specific to user role and the activity undertaken (chronic disease review vs acute disease assessment).

The user roles are divided into:

Prescribers
Non Prescribers
Admin

As with all Primary Care IT tools, the templates can be easily launched from the OneLaunchers (a menu via your F12), which are built for different groups of users (in the same way as the templates).

The different templates are:

See the below examples to see how the template behaves differently depending on the patient that is selected

Patient 1
Patient 2

This patient has no chronic diseases but needs is on the oral contraceptive and has some codes that suggest QOF diagnoses that haven’t been made

This patient has asthma, is on drugs that mean they need information about sick day rules (and haven’t had it) and also has some codes that suggest QOF diagnoses that haven’t been made

By whole disease area
By just which elements are outstanding

For example:

See detailed blood pressure information which is patient specific
See which level of GOLD or ABCD a patient with COPD has

For example:

For diabetes
Physical health in patients with Mental Health

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

See the information about sick day rules – once this has been given within the year, it doesn’t appear again.

See the possible new diagnosis of AF – and the free text explaining why this has shown.

You’ll never see this many, but it gives you an idea of the complexity that sits underneath the template. There are over 30 different possibilities that may or may not show depending on the situation.

Is highlighted at the bottom of the introduction page for Prescribers – in the hope that this work can be done throughout the year rather than rushed at the year end.

Simple and structured data entry for the most common GP presentations.
Supports developing skills with wider team members, up-skilling nursing teams or registrars.
Allows established clinicians to structure their data entry in keeping with NICE guidance
