Medication Administration Round

1. Go to Medicines Administration in MediMap and click Start Round.
   
   
    
2. Select the area you’re doing a round for, and the dose time. Dose times use a 24-hour clock (e.g. 14:00 = 2pm). 
   Click Start.
   
   
    
3. You can show the resident list by room number or last name. 
   The legend explains the marks shown for each resident in the round. 
   An empty or partially filled box on the Administration grid means meds are still due at the current dose time. 
   
    
4. If you can’t see a resident in the current round, click Show all Residents, then check if they have regular meds scheduled for the current round. 
   If you don’t see them in the list, search for them in the dashboard, then open their chart to see if they’re:
   • Offsite (if they’re back onsite, click More > Temporary Absence > Onsite).
   • Self-administering their own meds (click Edit and see if Independently Self Administers all medications is selected)
   • Go back to Medicines Administration to continue your normal round.
     
     
      
5. Click the empty box for the dose time for the resident you’re administering meds to. MediMap takes you to the resident’s administration page. 
   If you click the residents name, you’ll see their administration page showing the closest dose time on your watch. 
   
   
    
6. Use the resident's administration page to do your patient medication checks.
   
   
    
7. If a medication is charted, then the tab headings are blue. 
   The resident's administration page shows all packed and non-packed meds to administer at the current dose time.

   • Click a PACKAGE line to record all the meds in it as administered.

   The meds lines will turn green to help you see what you’ve done. 
   Click Finish. You’ll get a warning if you miss a med.

   If you don’t complete the round, click Finish Round and EXIT ROUND to finish it later.
