When a Synkwise team member enters the medication for a resident, it is crucial to audit the details for acuracy
-
Understand the Team’s Role
-
If you’ve provided the MAR (Medication Administration Record), the Synkwise team will enter and accept pharmacy orders for you.
-
-
Review the Entered Medications
-
Go to the resident’s eMAR section.
-
Click on the Medication List icon at the top.
-
-
Check the Medication Status
-
If it says "New", that typically indicates it’s about one to two weeks into the start date.
-
Focus on the Start Date, as you can begin signing medications starting from that date.
-
-
Edit Before You Sign
-
Before marking medications as given, click on the three-dot action button and select Edit.
-
-
Understand What Can Be Changed
-
You can edit: dosage, drug strength, frequency, start date, RX number, and prescriber info.
-
You cannot edit: the drug name—this is tied to the database. If incorrect, you'll need to recreate the medication.
-
Reach out to Synkwise if help is needed or refer to the video guide on creating a custom medication.
-
-
Avoid Auto-Discontinuation
-
If a medication has already been administered and you change critical fields (e.g., dosage), you’ll get a message stating it will be discontinued and recreated.
-
If there's no red box at the bottom of the edit screen, you can save changes without triggering a discontinuation.
-
-
Save and Verify
-
Save your changes.
-
Check that the medication now reflects the correct start month.
-
Go to the Med Pass, select the appropriate date (e.g., yesterday), and begin marking medications as given.
