Setting Up OneContact Interoperability With EMIS Web
Setting Up OneContact Interoperability With EMIS Web
Updated over 3 years ago

Form results stored in OneContact can be filed into the patient record in EMIS Web. The full results from the form can be filed as a PDF, alongside read codes.

To request interoperability between EMIS Web and OneContact, you must first contact the Iatro team by emailing [email protected] requesting interoperability activation at your practice. The interoperability with EMIS Web is a chargeable add-on to the OneContact solution, and the team will be able to confirm if interoperability is already included in your agreement.

Upon instruction, the Iatro team will configure interoperability for your organisation within 10 working days. Once this configuration has been completed, you will be emailed with confirmation.

To complete setup of the interoperability between OneContact and EMIS Web, there is a further task that must be completed within EMIS Web by the customer organisation. If any of the selections shown don’t appear in your EMIS when going through the setup process, you may have insufficient user privileges to set up the system and should ask a systems administrator within your organisation to perform the setup – this would usually be your practice manager, a senior administrator or one of the GP Partners.
