How to use the alerts widget on the Synkwise dashboard to manage missed medications and PRN effectiveness reviews

Access the Alerts Widget

Locate the Alerts widget on your dashboard. If it's not visible, use the Customize Dashboard option to add it.

The widget has two primary tabs: Medications and Health Monitor.

Review Medication Alerts

The Medications tab lists any resident who has missed a medication on the medpass within the last 72 hours.
-
Click the button next to a resident's name to go directly to their medpass.

Administer Missed Medications
-
On the medpass, scroll back to previous days to find medications that were not administered.

Use the batch process medication button to quickly mark and administer all missed doses at once.
-
For certain medications, such as topical creams, you may need to complete additional steps like marking the body silhouette.

Complete PRN Effectiveness
-
Alerts can also be triggered by pending PRN effectiveness reviews. Navigate to the PRN meds section.
-
Under the pending review tab, select the PRN.
-
Mark if it was effective, ensure the administration and effective dates are close, add a note, and save.

-
Check the Medlog

You can also view missed medications in the medlog.

While you can update records here, it is recommended to use the batch processing feature on the medpass for faster administration.
