Add and edit a medication record

Lumary can be used to capture medication details for a client. There are two types of medication records:

• Regular — medication that is required on a regular basis
• Short Term — medication that is required on a short term basis

To create a medication record:

1. Navigate to the client's record.
2. Click on the Support Needs tab.
3. Click on the Health & Wellbeing tab.
4. Scroll down to the Medications (Client) related list.
5. Click New to create a record.
6. Select a record type — Regular or Short Term — then click Next.
7. This will open a new Medication form. The table below describes the fields in the form. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.

Field	Use
*Client	Auto-fills with the client's name.
Medication Name	Search and select the medication from reference data. You may need to just start typing the name of the medication and it will likely appear e.g. Panadol.
Prescribed Date	The date the medication was prescribed.
Dose	The dosage details for the medication.
Route	The method by which the medication is administered.
Frequency	How often the medication is to be administered.

6. Click Save.
7. The new record will now be listed under the Medications (Client) section on the client's record.
