Access clinical information

EMIS Web is the most widely used clinical system in primary care in the UK and is available to healthcare professionals across community, mental health and secondary care, it provides access to the GP records of every patient you treat.

With EPR Viewer, you can view vital primary care information (including medications and allergies) for all your patients, safe and secure data sharing of this type helps teams from across the healthcare sector save time and resource whilst delivering a quality patient experience.

Enhanced patient safety and efficiency

Whether you're a consultant in A&E medicine or a mental health nurse, having access to this real-time information can significantly improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of care, as well as your efficiency and productivity.

With over 50% of the UK's GP practices using one of our clinical systems, EPR Viewer gives you potential access to over 39 million patient records.

EPR Viewer has revolutionised our lives.

Improved death certification

The Electronic Patient Record Viewer (EPRV) provides a real-time view of GP patient data from multiple practices within EMIS Web. The EPRV is therefore ideal for hospitals (especially unplanned care departments) and any healthcare setting where a view of GP records would save time and improve patient care.
In line with 2024's new statutory legislation, Medical Examiners will be responsible for reviewing and signing off death certificates and investigating detail surrounding all deaths that aren't investigated by a coroner.

The EPRV allows Medical Examiners to access to details of a patient's history directly, enabling them to conduct their thorough investigations quickly and efficiently.

Access to the EPR Viewer has been hugely beneficial, without it we wouldn’t have been able to run this service in the way we want to, we are really lucky.
