Add a Medication 

To add a new Medication for a Client, go to Care Documentation>Medication on a Client's profile. 

Under the Medication tab, you will see a list of all Medications that have been added for the Client. The list displays the Medication name, Status, whether it is High Alert, Start and End Date, Route, Time Instruction, Medication Type, Medication Entered Date, and the name of the Employee it was Last Administered By if applicable. 

You can filter this list by Status, whether it is High Alert, Administered by, Type, Route, Time Instruction, and Discrepancy. 

To add a new Medication for the Client, click +Add Medication. 

In the Add Medication dialogue, complete the required fields:

Complete any other relevant fields before clicking Ok. Note that the Medication Entered By and date Medication Entered fields will be automatically filled in with your Employee profile name and the current date. 

After clicking Ok, the new Medication will appear in the Client's Medications list.
