New Feature - Using PatientChase to target patients needing medication reviews!

16th Dec 2020

It is now possible to use PatientChase to target patients who are showing in EMIS as needing a review of their medications.

Pick a specific medication or pick a combination of medications. Naturally PatientChase will produce patient-centric results, meaning you will be presented with the medication reviews that apply to each patient. You can then target the patient once and review all their medications at the same time.

Or use the neat summary to share with a clinician such as a pharmacist so that they can review the patient's medication before contacting the patient.

Medications included and specifications

You are able to search for patients who need a review of the following medications:

Please refer to the document entitled DrugMonitoringforAdultsinPrimaryCare.pdf for their specifications including the default time period when the medication is due for review.

Please contact us should you wish to change the frequency at any point.
