Do the medicines checks and audits

For Staff, Senior, Manager, Owner

  1. On Today or Checks, tap Do it beside the medicines check, like eMAR gaps and alerts review or Controlled drugs stock check review.
  2. Each one opens its checklist at the side. Answer every line Pass, Fail or N/A, and say what was wrong on a Fail.
  3. The controlled drugs check needs two registered nurses there for the whole check, both signing the register.
  4. When every line is answered, record it. Each failed line can raise an Action.

Some medicines checks are allocated to a level, like Anyone with Manager access. They show on Today for whoever they’re allocated to.

When it’s done

The check shows as done, with any Actions it raised, and goes to a Senior or Manager to sign off.

If it doesn’t work

  • The check isn’t on your Today: it’s allocated to someone else. Find it on Checks.
  • You can’t finish it in one go: tap Finish later. Anyone on shift can carry on.
  • You need more detail on a step: see Work through a checklist and Record a finished checklist.
The controlled drugs check open at the side, with Pass, Fail and N/A on each line.
