Version 4 of SHPAs Don’t Rush to Crush in eMIMSCloud.
The fourth edition includes more than 590 oral medicines, with 40 new monographs added, as well as new sections on oral liquids and thickness testing and gastrointestinal dysfunction:
- About oral liquids and thickness testing provides information that is helpful when considering the safest option for a person with swallowing difficulties. For some people, the thickness of liquids or food is the most important factor to consider. Over 100 oral liquid medicines have been tested using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) testing methods and the resulting thickness levels are included in the monographs.
- About gastrointestinal dysfunction provides guidance about the important factors to consider when giving medicines to people who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery, or who have altered gastrointestinal function.
The IMgateway Drug Herb and Food and Supplement interaction database is included as an optional extra in eMIMS. This unique interactions data base has been developed by Sydney University and is an ideal resource for Pharmacists, General Practitioners, Health Care Professionals and Students.

Requirements
eMIMSCloud
eMIMS Cloud is sold as named users however large organisations can negotiate IP Address control if it is technically available.
One user allows you to access eMIMS Cloud in one browser session only. If you require more than one session to be open at the same time, for example on multiple PCs, then you need to purchase a user for each session required.
The User ID is the email address. One User ID can have multiple users, for example, if you purchase 5 users then 5 people can share the same User ID and logon at the same time. Alternatively each of the 5 people can have their own User ID.
You can nominate someone to be the administrator for your organisation, who can add, change and delete users as required.
With eMIMS Cloud there is nothing to install or update – your costs in maintaining the Cloud version are lower than the Desktop version.
Scenario 1: A Pharmacy requires eMIMS Cloud to be open on two dispensing PCs at the same time – the pharmacy needs to purchase two users.
Scenario 2: A Pharmacy requires eMIMS Cloud access on two PCs but not at the same time – the pharmacy can buy one user and share it between the two PCs however, the user must remember logoff each session when finished so that it is available for the other PC.
IP Address: For an IP Address range, you must purchase a copy for each device (PC, laptop or tablet) accessing eMIMS as part of day to day business processing/workflow. The formula for calculating the number of copies required is one device in the IP range equals one copy.
Access eMIMS directly from an industry standard web browser (requires an active internet connection).
The following Web Browsers are supported:
| Supplier | Web Browser | Version (or later) |
| Microsoft | Internet Explorer | 9 |
| Mozilla | Firefox | 18 |

MIMS Australia strongly recommends you maintain the currency of your medicine’s information by ensuring you update your eMIMS every month.
