The Medications section of the client profile displays all active medications available for the client. Enter all medications, dosages, and administration instructions for the caregiver to view.
If medications are not added in this section, DSPs will be unable to view or document medication administrations or refusals during their shift. The Meds section in the mobile app functions as the client's eMAR, allowing DSPs to track and record all medication activity electronically.
Before medications are assigned to a client plan, you must first create a medication type. A medication type is a customizable questionnaire that determines which questions a DSP must complete each time they administer medication to a client. See Creating Medication Types for more details.
Step 1: Navigate to the Client Profile
To access the client's profile:
Click Clients in the left menu
Search for the client and select Profile
Click Medications in the slide-out menu
Step 2: Add the Medication
To add a medication to the client plan:
Click Create Medication +
Complete the required fields:
Medication Type
Medication name
Dosage
Specified Route (how the medication is taken, such as oral or injection)
Description
Side Effects
Upload images (up to 4) so DSPs can easily identify pills and view prescription details, instructions, and other important information
Note: If no Medication Type is selected, the DSP will only be prompted to enter the Time Administered and Details.
Step 3: Set up Medication Reminders (Optional)
If desired, you can send medication reminder push notifications to caregivers to remind them when a client's medication should be administered. You can choose which days and times the notifications are sent. Caregiver will only receive these notifications while they are in service with the client.
To setup reminders:
Toggle on Time varies daily
Select a day and add the reminder time(s)
Click the + icon to add multipole reminder times for the same day
Step 4: Save the Medication
Once the medication is setup as desired, click Save.
Caregivers will be able to see the list of medications assigned to the clients while in shift with them. They can then log medication administrations and refusals.
Editing and Archiving Medications
Medications can be Edited or Archived by clicking View details next to the medication and clicking the 3 dots. Once archived, the medication will no longer appear.
Tracking Medication Administration
