Audit the Med Log

1. Access the MedLog in the EMAR Section

   • Navigate to the EMAR section in Synkwise.
   • Open the MedLog to begin the audit process.

2. Look for the Red Plus Button

   • The red plus button indicates a medication that has not been documented as given.
   • If a staff member missed signing off on a medication, it will appear as a missed dose.

3. Check for Missed Medications

   • Review the MedLog for any unsigned medications.
   • Staff members can go back and document late medications with a note explaining that the medication was given on time but charted late.

4. Sign on Behalf of Staff (If Necessary)

   • As a workspace admin, you have the ability to sign for a staff member.
   • Keep in mind that this requires acknowledging an agreement confirming that you are signing on their behalf.

5. Review Past MedLogs for Accuracy

   • Go back to previous days, weeks, or even the last month to ensure all medications were properly documented.
   • Click on the current month and switch to the previous month to review historical data.

6. Watch for Red Dots on Resident Avatars

   • Red dots on a resident’s avatar indicate missed medications within the last 72 hours.
   • These indicators do not appear for missed medications beyond the 72-hour window, so regular audits are important.

7. Use the Auditing Feature Under Manage Facility

   • Navigate to "Manage Facility" and select "Inspection" to analyze missed medications.
   • Review your facility’s audit score to identify areas for improvement.

8. Generate a Finalized Printout of the MedLog

   • Go back to the MedLog and click on "Print."
   • This will generate a printable version of the MedLog, which can be used for licensing inspections or record-keeping.

9. Regularly Check for Red Plus Buttons and Other Indicators

   • Ensuring all medications are properly documented helps maintain compliance and accuracy.
   • If you need further assistance, click the help button at the bottom right corner of Synkwise.
