Add, Edit, or Enter Medications

In order for medication information to be tracked in the system, it must first be added. Often, this is done during the registration process. Outside the registration process, medications can still be added or edited via the Person Detail page.    

To add or edit medications:

1. 1. Open the desired account.
   2. On the Account Detail page, click on the appropriate individual's name under Account Members.
   3. In the Medications menu on the right, click the View / Edit link.

Adding a New Medication

1. 1. Enter the Medication Name in the field provided. 
      • Based on what you begin typing, UltraCamp will suggest medication names from a list of FDA approved medications. 
   2. You may select from this list or enter a different med name.
   3. Select the Route for medication administration from the dropdown menu.
   4. In the Schedule / Dosage section, use the Select Schedule dropdown menu to indicate when the med should be administered and what the dosage should be.
      • Up to five different administration times / dosages can be indicated.
      • You may also add any Reason for Medication / Comments in the field provided.
   5. Click the Save Medication This will record the medication in the system, and it will display under Current Medications below.
   6. When you have finished entering medication information, click the Save and Proceed button. 
      • This will return you to the Person Detail page (or move you to the next page in the registration process if you are making a reservation).

Editing an Existing Medication

Once a medication has been added, it will display in the Medications menu. 

1. 1. Click the View / Edit link
   2. Scroll down to the Current Medications section.
      • Here you can click the Edit link to the right of the desired medication to change its information.
   3. Record your changes in the database using one of the "Save" buttons at the bottom.
   4. You may use the Delete button to disable the medication. This hides the medication information from view.

How a Client Enters Medications

It can be helpful to see what a client sees when entering medication. Here we will review the function and layout of the public page for adding and editing medication. Most clients will add medications as part of their initial registration process.

To see the medications page from the public point of view, you also may make a reservation, but there is a short cut to the Medications page itself. 

Use the following steps to go directly to the Medications page:

1. 1. Access an account (like the Test account).
   2. Click the Public View icon in the upper right. This will take you to the public side.
   3. Click on an account member's name. This will take you to the Person Detail.
   4. Use the Manage Medications button under Common Tasks OR in the expandable menus on the right, locate the Medications menu and expand it. 
   5. Click the Manage Medications link to be redirected to the appropriate page.

Clients can also follow these steps to add or edit medications outside the registration process.
