Remote Consultation and Consultation Write Back

Using a combination of Remote Consultation and Consultation Write Back Enterprise Agreements is an ideal solution for EMIS organisations that;

• Do not want to move to GP Connect
• Do not have admin resource tracing patients into EMIS Clinical Services (PCN Hub)
• Do not want to spend the time or money completing a Demographic export and import
• Wish to complete EPS, online blood requests at their PCN Hubs within the same consultation
• Have access to Fit Notes

To achieve this, organisations only need two Emis Enterprise Agreements;

• Remote Consultations
• Consultation Write Back

There will be no need for Care Record Sharing or Cross Org Tasks as the clinician will be accessing the patients GP system remotely from EMIS Clinical Services.

Clinicians will start a consultation in the PCN Hub from a booking that has come from a GP Practice via a cross-organisational slot booking.  This will open another instance of Emis (the patients GP Practice) where a consultation can take place.  Clinicians will have access to the patients GP Practices clinical and document templates as well as being able to issue Fit Notes.

If the patient requires an Electronic Prescription (EPS) or bloods, the clinician can just toggle back to the Instance of Emis Clinical Services that remains open, trace the patient in (recommend they copy the patients NHS number from the GP Practice to paste into the trace tool), open a new consultation and complete an EPS or blood request.  These will be copied back to the patients GP Practice record via Consultation Write Back.
