Adding a New Medication

Quickly search and add medications by entering a few letters, accessing thousands of options to maintain an accurate MAR.

1. Prepare to Add a Medication

   • Gather the med list and any medications you need to enter.
   • Ensure you are in the eMAR section in Synkwise.

2. Locate the Medication

   • On the left side of the screen, go to the resident's profile where the medication will be added.
   • Begin typing the first three letters of the drug name to see available options.
   • Medications marked with a green cloud are custom entries, while those with a pink pill icon are from the database.

3. Select and Input Details

   • Choose the medication, and select its strength from the list. If not available, you can create a custom medication by entering the required details.
   • Set the start date, which can be backdated if needed.

4. Add Specific Instructions

   • Add an end date if the medication is time-limited.
   • Specify the prescription source, frequency, and dosage.
   • Define administration details, such as time of day and dosage quantity.

5. Configure Alerts and Track Inventory

   • Set reminders to notify you when supplies are low (e.g., when inventory reaches 5 tablets).
   • Add a description or imprint details if needed for better identification.

6. Finalizing the Medication Entry

   • Review all inputs and save the medication.
   • Administer the medication as per the set schedule, logging additional data like blood pressure or heart rate if required.

7. Edit or Remove Medications

   • If needed, edit or discontinue the medication directly from the eMAR section.
