Medication Templates provide a more efficient and less error prone way of setting up medication

The blue icons are used to set up templated medication, PRN, creams and insulin templates.

Complete the details of the medication as per the prescription. Change the Action label and Full name
to be the name of the medication. Instructions for administration would be details such as “Take ONE
daily after food”. Tick the ‘Self-administered’ box if you are a recording details of medication that the
resident manages themselves.
The default prompts for Done and Declined will update automatically based on the details you’ve
entered about the prescribed drug.
