EMIS-X: Clinical views - Consultations
This feature is currently being piloted. Organisations will be notified once the feature is on general release.
Clinical Views allows you to view a patient's Care Record data at a glance and provides important clinical information and decision support at the point of care.
Clinical Views shows a patient's investigation data in a modern user interface, when using EMIS-X side-by-side with EMIS Web.
Access Consultations
Consultations can be opened from the Clinical Views menu. In order to view consultations in EMIS-X, you must have the relevant patient selected in EMIS Web.
1. Open Clinical Views from the EMIS-X menu.
2. Select Consultations.
The Consultations feature is designed to be used as a quick-reference view of a patient's Consultations. This can be especially beneficial if you're working through a patient's Care Record in EMIS Web.
