MEDICAL RECEPTION STATION SANDHURST
PROTOCOL FOR USE OF EMIS
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
INFORMATION SYSTEM (PHCIS)
INTRODUCTION
1.
The aim of this protocol is to direct how the EMIS PHCIS is used at MRS RMAS.
The protocol complements the EMIS training package provided by the Defence Medical
Services Training Centre (DMSTC) and should be read in conjunction with the user guides
produced by DMSTC. This protocol is installed on all practice computers as an icon on the
Desktop. Amendments, especially Read codes, will only be made by the SMO.
2.
All users are to receive EMIS training, including locums and temporary nursing staff
who are to be instructed in the use of the system by the Practice Manager (System
Administrator). This guide provides basic guidance for use of the system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
3.
The Practice Manager is nominated as the MRS Health and Safety officer. He is to
conduct Risk Assessments in accordance with MOD and Academy policies.
4.
All new users of the EMIS system are to have a Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
Work Station assessment carried out and MOD Form 1054 completed. All safety information
is to be displayed either attached to or near that workstation.
1
EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
LEVEL OF ACCESS
5.
The following levels of access are to be applied:
a.
The Practice Manager is designated System Administrator (SA) and is to have
Level 6 access, as is the Senior Medical Officer (SMO), who is the System Manager.
b.
The Receptionist is the Appointments Manager and requires Level 5 access.
c.
The Dispenser is required to access stock control and so requires Level 5 also.
d.
Doctors other than the SMO, physiotherapists, all nurses and all CMTs are to
have Level 4 access.
e.
Permanent clerical staff other than the Receptionist are to have Level 4 access.
f.
Temporary clerical staff are to be given Level 3 access.
LOGGING ON AND LOGGING OFF
6.
All users not familiar with the system are to be provided with a User Guide by the

EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
REGISTERING PATIENTS
7.
All patients must be registered on the computer, whether as temporary or permanent.
There will be many occasions when patients consult before their full medical record has
arrived; this is catered for by the system. Those registering patients must do so in accordance
with the EMIS guide produced by DMSTC. Addresses are to be entered for military staff as
follows:
House name/No
Street
Village/station
Town
Tel No
Course number (e.g. CC 013) or PS or DS
Company name in full then Coy (e.g. Alamein Coy) for cadets;
44 Sqn, GDC, Ac HQ, or MRS for permanent staff; leave blank
for Directing Staff. Army Medical Directorate entered as AMD.
RMAS, FASC or CTC
Camberley
Home telephone number or other contact number is essential
.
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULES
8.
The Receptionist as Appointments Manager is to generate sessions as directed by the
SMO or deputy. The Cadets’ Medical Officer as Deputy SMO is responsible for producing
the doctors’ rota and so will usually produce this information for medical officers. Matron
will produce the information for the Treatment Room (and nurse run clinics) and the
Superintendent Physiotherapist for the physiotherapists.
3
EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
9.
Appointments.
a.
As a default setting, all appointments are 10 minutes in length. Appointments
are made by typing AP when in the main “Patient Management” menu and selecting
the appropriate session holder.
b.
The Duty MO for the session is to have alternate appointments categorised as
urgent only. This will be annotated in text as URGENT. These slots can only be
filled by nurses or CMTs after they have assessed the patient; they are not available to
the Receptionist. Sick Parade slots are similarly indicated as such. These have to be
cancelled by the nurse or CMT making the appointment, and then the patient’s name
booked in. If the medical officer or other session holder is unavailable for that
particular time, then these appointments will be BLOCKED (--------------) (type B).
c.
Double appointments (i.e. 20 minutes for the patient, rather than 10) may be
made by any user, but must be annotated as such by double appt being entered in text
in the 10 minute slot immediately following that in which the patient’s name appears
(type T then type text). When booking appointments, all patients should be asked if
they would like to make a regular 10 minute appointment, or whether they feel a
longer appointment will be necessary.
d.
Cervical smears, Y list reviews and medicals (except boxing medicals, which
are 10 minute appointments) are as a default always double appts. In this situation,
type T and enter y list review, PULHHEEMS, etc. Medical Board appointments are
always 40 minutes. 30 mins are needed for minor ops and IUD fittings. IUD fittings
must also be booked into the Practice Sister’s appts; minor ops must be booked in
treatment room appointments as well as the doctor concerned.
e.
Other appointments may also be blocked, usually by the Receptionist at the
request of the clinician holding that session. In this situation dotted lines will appear
in that slot. Such appointments may only be unblocked with the permission of that
session holder.
f.
The Receptionist, doctors, nurses and CMTs may make appointments directly
in the physiotherapists’ sessions. Note that there are three physiotherapists, named as
session holders (use linked screens). As for all patients, blocked appts must NOT be
unblocked except by the physio. Referral forms are not required, provided full details
are on the consultation notes. Enter as a Referral: Referral to Physiotherapist Read
Code 8H77.
10.
The appointment schedules are to be backed up by the Receptionist on disc at the end
of each working day Monday to Friday, discs rotating on a weekly basis.

EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
DATA ENTRY
TOP TIP:
When entering data in more than one screen press
F3 to transfer function
11.
MR Page.
a.
The Medical Record (MR) page is to be used for all entries when the patient is
not consulting (i.e. results, reports from consultants etc). It is especially important that
ALLERGIES are entered (from MR screen, type B)1, plus other essential information
including for example Hepatitis B risk.
b.
Results of xrays, blood tests etc are to be entered by typing V for Values and
Investigations and then A for Add. Then chose the appropriate line (e.g. Z for CK –
creatine kinase level). ECGs will also be recorded here.
c.
Immunisations are entered via MR screen by typing I for Immunisations2.
Choices are listed; type T for Template then D for Service Immunisations..
d.
Reports from consultants must always have been seen by a medical officer.
The data will then be entered onto EMIS by nursing staff as indicated by the doctor.
Space in the MR sector is limited to two lines of text, and so only essential
information will be recorded (highlighted by the doctor). The original will be filed in
the patient’s notes; when hardware becomes available the letter will be scanned into
EMIS. The clinical information is to be entered by typing E for Diseases and
Operations and then A for Add data. The problem is then added via Read Codes as
described below, with further text as highlighted by the MO. Where invited to add as
a problem, do so. The MO will have indicated if the problem is Significant or not.
e.
Nurses carrying out new civilian patient registrations (all new patients other
than cadets should be offered a new patient check with the nurse) must generate the
beginnings of a summary on this first contact. This can be amended once the patient’s
records arrive. Similarly, the medical officers carrying out initial medicals will
complete details on the military (blue) summary card. This must be entered on the
computer when this is generated later that day by nursing or data entry staff. Any entry
on the summary card is Significant. Clinical data from new notes and registration
medicals for both military and civilians is entered from the MR screen via H for
Health Screen. The most recent immunisations must also be entered.
f.
Administrative contacts are made via the MR page. Generally the entry will be
headed Administration (Read Code 9…..).
1
The letter B is not immediately visible when the MR screen is entered; it is among those found by entering Q.
However, even in the first screen typing B will bring the person entering data to the Allergies screen.
2
I for Immunisations is not on front screen, but typing I will bring the Immunisation screen up.
5
EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
12.
CM Page.
a.
The Consultation Mode (type CM from the main screen) is to be used by
doctors, nurses and medics for all patient contacts, including telephone advice. It must
NOT be used for entering results, reports etc as this will generate a consultation
statistic (i.e. make our consultation rate appear much higher than it actually is).
b.
During sessions, clinicians will have the appointments page selected (type AP).
As the patient arrives at Reception, the cursor must be moved to that patient’s name on
the appt list and A typed. When the session holder calls the patient in they are then to
enter S on their appointment list. Pressing RETURN will then bring that patient’s
notes onto the screen. When the patient leaves type L .
c.
When invited to select the Place of consultation, the default setting should be
MRS RMA Sandhurst for doctors’ consulting rooms. Press F4 to chose the place that
you are consulting (e.g. Treatment Room) if this does not appear as default.
d.
All terminals should as a default be configured to show the Brief Summary on
entering CM. Summaries are updated via the MR screen.
e.
To enter CM from MR, select C for Consultations and then A for Add. The
Problem Title will be highlighted. Press RETURN and define the problem by entering
a Read Code from the list below. No other codes are acceptable.
TOP TIP:
When reviewing a patient with an ongoing problem,
select L - Patient’s Problem List. The list of problem
titles already used will be displayed. For a new
problem, type D – Problem Titles. This leads to the
MRS RMAS list of Read Codes. When in Additional
typing J brings you to Morbidity Index for entering
Additional codes
f.
In order that injuries can be attributed to the activities that caused them, the
doctor must enter the relevant code in the Additional field as described in para 16
below, but only once (usually the first occasion they present). Patients seen for
review must have the Read Code Patient reviewed entered as an Additional field. On
y list recommendation Read Code Medical evaluation for rehab is entered as an
Additional field. This is most easily entered by typing J for Morbidity index; choices
are listed.
g.
If the patient has a further problem type N - next problem.
6
EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
h.
The consultation must be saved by pressing F8 - File, F5 - swap patient, or
F10 - Appointments. These keys may ONLY be pressed when on the CM screen. For
military patients you will then be prompted to detail fitness for duty. Press F8 to exit.
7
EMIS Protocol 12 February 2016
13.
Coding – responsibilities of doctors, nurses and medics.
a.
If patients are seen by nurses or medics and then immediately referred to a
medical officer (i.e. the usual procedure during Sick Parade) then the “Problem Title”
must be competed by the nurse/medic as seen by practice nurse Read Code 9N22, or
by CMTs as Combat Medical Technician Read Code TRISCO22. The medical
officer will then complete the problem title, disposal etc. Details of the condition are
typed in as free test in history. The Light Duties screen which will be displayed on
typing F8 to file can be bypassed in this case by typing F9.
b.
If the patient is given treatment by the nurse or medic, and/or is seen later that
day, the following day or later, then the nurse or medic must enter the code for
problem as below (plus days light duties etc). In this situation the Light Duties screen
which will be displayed on typing F8 to file, is completed as appropriate. If the
problem is to be entered by the nurse then usually it will be entered as Minor unless
the nurse or CMT considers that it is definitely Significant.
c.
For recording procedures such as taking blood, stay in CM but enter X for
Xray/lab requests and then one of the choices listed, e.g. W for Blood sample sent to
lab. Similarly, if an X ray is requested type X for Xray/lab requests then X for Xray.
d.
In summary, if the medical officer sees the patient in the same session as the
nurse or CMT then this is in effect one consultation. If the doctor sees them later, then
there are two consultations.
14.
Read Codes. Read Codes are to be used during consultations, or as Problems on the
MR page, entering one of the following choices as “Problem Title”. The aim is to ensure that
for Service personnel there is consistency in data entry. This is in order to maximise the
accuracy of morbidity returns, and to ensure accuracy when undertaking searches and audits.
The Read Codes used in the practice will need to be reconsidered from time to time, but only
via amendments to this EMIS Protocol by the SMO.
