The EMIS-X companion app has been rolled out across the country
EMIS-X® is now live for all practices across England, meaning that 3,745 practices and 232,000 individual users now have access to our new cloud-based technology platform.
The EMIS-X companion app has been designed to enhance and expand upon the capabilities of EMIS Web and introduces new features including a range of clinical views, instant messenger, news feed and single-sign-on to EMIS Now. The impact this will have on the everyday workflows and processes for our users is going to be profound; removing clicks, cutting back on repetitive tasks, saving valuable time and reducing daily frustrations for healthcare teams.
CEO of EMIS and Optum UK said:
“I’m delighted to know that our users have access to EMIS-X across England and am looking forward to getting feedback from our customers over the coming weeks. EMIS-X is at the heart of our innovation programme and as we continue to build new functionality, we will be able to innovate faster and continue to deliver value to our customers.”
The future of health technology
The new companion app sits alongside EMIS Web so our users will able to familiarise themselves with the EMIS-X user interface and benefit from new functionality whilst maintaining the rich clinical features of EMIS Web.
GP Partner at Moss Grove Surgery, Alex Sobainsky commented:
“EMIS-X is a real improvement and has helped a lot with the way I manage consultations, it has definitely saved time, with far less 'clicks' required to get to relevant information. Being able to quickly review patient history, medications and documents puts me in the picture for each appointment."
The evolution continues
Over time EMIS-X will grow and expand in capability until it ultimately replaces EMIS Web, this is why it is really important that the transition for users is smooth and gradual. EMIS-X will provide a foundational platform for us to deliver enhancements quicker and easier over the coming weeks, months and beyond.
Chief Medical and Product Officer, Shaun O'Hanlon explained:
“It’s so exciting that EMIS-X is already helping clinicians at the point of care. Our modular, agile approach means that EMIS-X will continue to evolve, giving our customers new clinically robust, safe and modern capabilities. EMIS-X is the platform we will be using across the NHS to support our customers and will revolutionise their ability to deliver integrated care.”
