Record a Dose¶

Record each dose when the person takes or receives their medication.

Step 1: Find the medication¶

Use the Dashboard when a scheduled dose is due. You can also open the person's profile and find the medication there.

Step 2: Check that the dose is available¶

Scheduled medication appears when it is due. As-needed medication appears when its dose rules allow another dose.

MedTracker disables the action when a dose rule blocks it. The page explains why the dose is unavailable. Check the medicine instructions before you continue. MedTracker does not replace clinical advice.

Step 3: Record the dose¶

1. Select Take or Give.
2. Confirm the person, medication, dose, and time in the Record dose dialog.
3. Choose the stock source when more than one location is available.
4. Submit the form.

Step 4: Verify the record¶

Confirm that the dashboard and dose history show the dose. Check that the medicine, amount, and time are correct.

Record an earlier dose¶

Open the medication's actions and select Log a past dose. You can record a dose from earlier today or a previous day.

If an existing record is wrong, ask a household administrator to investigate it. Dose history is an audit record and should not be silently erased.
