Access Care Planning comes pre-loaded with a lot of medication by default. If you have a medication that isn’t already available on the system, you’ll need to manually add it to the supported medication list.

Tenant or branch administrators can add medication; however, it is added in different sections depending on the user type.

Tenant Administrator

Add one or a couple of medications

You can manually add a single or small number of medications through the configuration menu.

To get started, follow these simple steps:

  1. Click the three line menu then click Configuration.

  2. Click Tenant, then click Supported Medications.

  3. Click the plus icon, then complete the fields.

  4. Click Save.

Field

Description

Name

The name of the medication.

Instructions

Instructions on how to administer the medication.

Required location verification

If the location needs to be confirmed when the medication is administered.

Picture

It allows you to add a picture of the medication.

Add multiple medications

When adding a larger number of new medications, it’s recommended to use our Excel template.

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Click Upload multiple medications, then click Example File. This downloads an Excel template.

  2. Enter the name of the medication in column A and the instructions in column B and save this to your computer.

  3. Click Select file from computer, then find the template previously saved.

  4. Click Upload.

📌Note: If the medication needs a picture or needs required location verification, you will need to edit this medication and make the amendment manually as this cannot be done through the template.
