      1. Ensuring Device Connectivity

        • Check that the scanning device is connected to the Synkwise-enabled device (laptop or desktop).

        • Confirm connectivity via USB or Bluetooth for the scanner to work effectively.

      2. Using MedPass for Scanning

        • Open the MedPass application.

        • Click on the "SCAN" option to start scanning medications.

      3. Addressing Unrecognizable Barcodes

        • If a scanned barcode is not recognizable, go to the Medication List.

        • Click on the three dots, then on edit.

        • Look for the barcode field and make necessary edits to ensure it corresponds to the actual barcode on the medication bottle or card.

      4. Barcode Editing for Accuracy

        • Sometimes barcode discrepancies occur due to communication issues from the pharmacy.

        • Editing the barcode ensures that the scanned barcode matches the one on the medication card.

      5. Finalizing Scanning Process

        • After scanning, click on "done" to complete the process.

        • Note that medications outside the four-hour window may need manual entry.

      6. Testing and Support

        • Encouragement to test the scanning process and provide feedback on what works and what doesn't.

        • Synkwise team is ready to support and assist as needed.
