By default, you must be clocked into your shift and running a service in order to record medication administration or medication refusals for that client. Admins may allow you to log medications after the shift ends (setting enabled through the Giv dashboard).
The medications listed in the client’s profile were added by your admin team through the Giv dashboard.
Step 1: open the shift
If the shift is active:
Login to the app
Tap View shift at the top of the Home screen
Select the client under the Clients section
If the shift is completed:
Login to the app
Scroll down to the Shifts section on the Home screen
Select the Past tab
Tap the past shift you want to add notes
Select the client under the Clients section
Step 2: access the medications tile
Tap the Meds tile near the top of the client’s screen
You will see a list of medications sorted by medication type. This list of medications have been assigned to the client by the agency admins.
Note: If no medications appear, the client has no medications assigned to them in their client profile. Contact your admin team.
Step 3: log a medication event
Track medication administration by individual medication or in bulk for the same medication type, as well as track any refusals.
Option 1: track individual medication administration
To log individual medication events:
Select the medication (e.g., Levothyroxine)
Add the time administered
Fill out each field—these are customized by your agency admin
Tap Log Administration
Option 2: track medication administration in bulk
If there are multiple medications with the same type, you will be able to log all at once:
Tap Log multiple next to the medication type
Select the boxes next to each medication you want to track
Tap Proceed
Fill out each field—these are customized by your agency admin
The fields in the top section will be applied to all selected medications. You can expand any of the individual medications below to edit its individual fields.
Tap Log administrations
Option 3: track medication refusals
If a client refuses medication:
Select the medication
Turn on the toggle at the top (named Enabling this indicates that the client refused to take the medication)
Add the Time refused
Enter refusal Details
Tap Log Refusal
Step 4: view med history
When in the Meds tile, tap View history in the top left. The history will show all medication administrations and refusals. Clicking on any entry will pull up more information about that instance.
