Replacing Manually Entered Meds with Pharmacy Orders

1. Open the Medication List

   • Navigate to your medication list in Synkwise.
   • Medications you entered manually will not have the two emblems that indicate a pharmacy order.

2. Access the Pharmacy Medication List

   • Click on the "Pharmacy" tab to see all available pharmacy orders.
   • Start with the first medication listed at the top.

3. Select the Medication to Replace

   • Click on the medication you want to replace.
   • If you have no medications listed, you would use the "Add Order" option instead.
   • Otherwise, click "Replace" to find a matching pharmacy order.

4. Match the Medication

   • Select the correct pharmacy order that corresponds to your entered medication.
   • Click the green "Replace" button.

5. Adjust the Frequency if Needed

   • The frequency of the medication can be changed based on the resident’s needs.
   • Adjust the timing (e.g., 9 p.m. vs. 10 p.m.) as necessary.

6. Review Override Options

   • On the right-hand side, you can override fields like "Untrack Dispensed Quantity" if you do not want to track it.
   • You can also continue validating without tracking certain details.

7. Add Additional Information

   • If needed, enter restrictions, health monitoring notes, or other important details.

8. Confirm and Merge the Replacement

   • Click "Create" to proceed.
   • Review the caution message and confirm the merge.

9. Check the Med Log for Updates

   • The replaced medication will now appear in the med log.
   • Ensure there are no overlapping medications before continuing.
10. Adjust Preferences if Needed
    • Consider enabling "Show Total" in the preference settings for better visibility.
    • Review the change order messages to track what has been replaced.
11. Verify Any Missing Medications
    
    • If a medication is not listed, it could be due to a pharmacy issue or a discontinued order.
    • Contact the pharmacy via call or fax to confirm any discrepancies.
