Medication schedules allow you to plan, track, and easily distribute medications on a schedule. Schedule reminders will appear above the client in the Case Manager pages, and in the medication widget. To add a medication schedule to a client, you must first have a client selected. You can select a client via the Search application under the Case Manager application or by using the Search Clients search bar in the top right of the screen.
Once a client is selected, expand the Case Manager and Medical navigation items, then select the Medication application.
Note: If you want to distribute a client’s medication, please ensure you have already added their medication to their placement.
Select + New Schedule across from the Medical Schedules header
Next select who owns the medication. If you don’t see a client medication, go back to the previous screen and ensure the medication is associated with their placement. If you don’t see a facility medication, please go to the facility medications under Facility, Medications in the left navigation and ensure it is present. Then fill out the fields as needed.
