Medication administration recording system
An authorized employee records a drug given by the appointment or assistance with its use. A refusal and other circumstances relevant to the next shift are also seen.
The current version of the assignment, preparation, administration or assistance in self-consumption and exceptions are recorded separately. For the next shift, it is unclear what has actually been accomplished and which situation still requires an authorized assessment.
How the solution works
- Get and match the current appointment
- Verify person, action and authorization
- Register for Real Administration or Assistance
- Mark omission and pass required evaluation
- Match shift information and assignment change
Key challenges
- Drug assignment not linked to actual use aid
Solution capabilities
Appointment Version
Stores the source, time of entry into force, and change. The list of the drug from the previous extract is not accepted as an automatically matched current appointment.
Action check
According to the approved process, it checks the identity, drug, dosage, method and time of a person. The barcode is an aid, a substitute for not all checks.
The actual record
Separates the prepared drug, the administration performed by the employee and the help of self-administration. Does not pre-define the planned dose done.
Exclusion course
Denial, unavailable medication or missed time has a specific cause and the transfer of an authorized assessment for this. The system does not independently compensate for missed doses.
Need and continuity
For the drug, the conditions defined in the assignment are maintained as needed, and a record of subsequent effects is kept. After the disorder, it checks the records before allowing a re-action.
Business context
- Drug assignment not linked to actual use aid
- The current version of the assignment, preparation, administration or assistance in self-consumption and exceptions are recorded separately. For the next shift, it is unclear what has actually been accomplished and which situation still requires an authorized assessment.
- For the next shift, it is clear what has actually been accomplished
- The appointment does not in itself indicate whether the medicine was given or the person refused it. Actual records allow these circumstances to be transferred and presented to the specialist responsible. The supervision of the resident is coordinated according to the relevant information, while maintaining the powers of the employees and the validity of the appointments.

Potential impact (%)
The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.
Number of unclear records of medication administration or omission
2–12%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that the controls described can address 10-30% of discrepancies. That share is assumed to fall by 20-40%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Compute records established during the check that cannot be reliably attributed to performance or a specific reason for not performing.
Number of changes in the designation of non-transmitted medicinal products
2–12%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that the controls described can address 10-30% of discrepancies. That share is assumed to fall by 20-40%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Counting cases where a non-transferable accepted change has caused a discrepancy or its risk; including timely halted cases.
Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.
When this solution is relevant
- Shifts are difficult to tell whether the drug is only ready, already given, or failed to give.
- Changes to the appointment and records of actual administration of the drug are updated separately.
Project scope and implementation
The medication administration register is associated with valid appointments and shift work. If the nursing system in use already manages this progress, the submission of records and the renewal of appointments are improved. The action actually performed is fixed, not just the planned dose.
Further development options
- Additional units or help models, before moving through the boundaries of their appointments and actions separately.
