Setting up Forwarding Recipients in TPP SystmOne - Streamlining Scanning in Document Management
The new Document Management feature in TPP SystmOne really speeds up the process of scanning and we think it's great. The following tip will show you how to make forwarding on scans to GPs to be checked even quicker.
Once you have processed your scan, matched to a patient, entered details of the letter (e.g Discharge Summary), filled in the sender and recipient details and read coded as necessary, you click the Confirm button and then the system asks if you would like to complete the document (which files in the patient's notes and removed the document from your Acquired Images screen) or if you would like to forward the document onto a GP to be checked.
The following tip shows you how to set up your mainly used GPs as buttons as in the image below, rather than having to find them from the drop down list, clicking their name and then clicking the + button to add them to the list.
Using the eMED3 Fit Notes Feature in EMIS LV
This guide shows how to issue an eMED3 fit note statement whilst using the consultation mode of EMIS LV. eMED3s can also be accessed in the patients medical record and only GPs are allowed to issue electronic versions of an eMED3 (although other staff can issue duplicates and 'issued by hand' eMED3s).
The Importance of the 'Next' button in TPP SystmOne
When adding bulk or back dated data into a patient's record in SystmOne, it is vital that the Next button is understood and used. This is especially important when summarising patient notes.
The Next button has two main uses:-
- To separate consultations for GPs, Nurses and other clinical staff and
- Summarising patient notes received from the Health Authority after registering a new patient.
Either way, what the Next button allows you to do is to enter information under different 'events'.
