Medication Administration
Go to the meds round you want to administer. Short course meds show with regular meds at the charted dose time, marked as SC.
Click the short course med you want to administer.
- MediMap shows the short course med for the prescribed days, and an additional 24 hours to account for any delivery delays from the pharmacy:
- Days Left shows the remaining days of the meds course. It begins counting down from the first dose actioned in MediMap,
- Day 0 means the med is in the final 24 hours of the course. You can use this time to catch up on any missed doses if you need.
- Once you administer and record the last dose, click Comment and select Course Finished. MediMap moves the course to the stopped med.
- A warning on the resident’s administration page indicates the course was charted over 48 hours ago, but there’s no record of it starting.
Check if the course is still active or finished but not properly recorded. For auditing purposes, you can't re-record information it in MediMap, note what's happened and continue the course as usual.
