Option 1: Send the Patient Affiliation form to Med Access, and they can add this to the system forms. This would then be available to anyone using Med Access. Med Access would charge the user to embed the form in the EMR.
Option 2: Build the form just for your clinic; this could be shared with other clinics if needed by exporting the form. This form could be built by an EMR specialist (if you have one available in your PCN) or a staff member familiar with creating forms.
The following are resources on how to create forms in Med Access:
- Med Access help file on how to create forms: Creating and modifying electronic forms (mapped forms) (med-access.net). It is an advanced use of Med Access EMR, so this is ideal work for an EMR specialist either in the PCN or the clinic.
- Once the form is created, it can be added to a Task template. Creating and modifying electronic form task templates from the Template Management area (med-access.net)
- After this, if the clinic wants to add the Task template to all their patients preemptively, they can use Services within Practice Management Reporting to Apply Task to a list of all active patients. Executing Services on search results (med-access.net)
If your EMR specialist has any questions, please ask them to contact our AMA-ACTT EMR Lead Parvathi Nair at: [email protected].
Please note: the physician/clinic team are responsible for initiating the discussion with patients about the responsibilities, benefits and expectations of affiliation to all parties involved, and to obtain the patient and physician signatures.
