Set a medication for double signing

Double-sign medications need two people to be present to administer the medication to a resident. 

Australia: you will need to do this manually for section 29 medications (those not classified by Medsafe). 

1. Click the Settings icon from the dashboard.
   
   
    
2. Click Double Signed Medicines. 
   
   
    
3. From this page you can:
   • Require double signing for all syringe drivers or nurse-initiated medicines (NIMS)
   • Let people self-sign all double-sign medications
   • Require double signing for any medication given to a resident under 18 years old
   • Require double signing for specific controlled medicines or delivery routes

   • Select medication groups (such as insulins and analogues) from the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC Codes) to set a medication from that group to be double signed

     Specific Medications
     To set a medication for double signing, scroll to Specific Medications
     
      

4. Type the medication in the search field and select the correct one. MediMap applies the double sign immediately.
   
   
    
5. Click Brand and make sure it shows in the double-sign medication list.
   
   
    

6. In the next relevant medication round:

   • A DS will appear on the medication line to indicate that the medication requires two signatures
   • The first person administers the medication, then clicks on it in the resident’s chart
   • The second person reviews the medication administration, enters their username and password to confirm it's correct, and clicks Checked.
     
     
      

    

Note:
If a prescriber has used free text to chart a medication, then double sign cannot be applied.
