Summary:

Adding medications to the ‘Medications’ section of a client account is done by utilizing a data base called Drug Bank. Using the data base helps streamline the process of adding in records of medication as the various types of information that accompany specific drugs are used as options in the data fields of the form. This data base also helps users ensure they are adding in the exact/correct type of medication (i.e. “Tylenol” has several different types of medications that it could be).

Usage:

To add a medication a user would have to click on the ‘Add Medication’ button, type in the name of the medication into the search field and then click on ‘Search.’ Drug Bank will then display a list of all medications with the word entered into the search field. The user than has the option to choose which specific medication is correct. The user then needs to fill in the rest of the required information on the form.

The form includes information about the dosage, strength, frequency, and if the medication is prescribed by a physician. There is an option to input the information of a previously entered provider as the physician who has prescribed the medication, or if the physician who prescribed the medication is not a provider, there is an option to add a provider record for them.

If the check box for assistance being required is marked, any users on the account who have already been added in will display in a dropdown. If they are the appropriate assistant, the user can select them. If they are not the appropriate person, there is an option to add a relationship in.
