 TIME BETWEEN ADMINISTRATION WARNING

MED e-care has now implemented a setting to allow you to set your desired MINIMUM time between administration as a global setting for all medications across the home.

N.B. This new feature works exclusively for medications and PRNs on the MAIN ADMINISTRATION screen. This has not been implemented for items administered through "PRNs for all Clients" button or other links to PRNs found throughout the system. 

This setting has been implemented as a warning so that staff will be made aware of the last DATE, TIME and STAFF member who gave the item. They will then decide if they would like to continue with the administration anyways or cancel. 

Applies to medications administered within the MAR administration Round for medications with the same prescription number.
