After a patient's wristband has been scanned, a medication label may be scanned from the MAR or the Medication Administration screen. Medication Verification will run a series of checks and alert the user to issues with the scanned medication. Some alerts may prohibit the user from administering the scanned medication and some may require that an override reason be documented before administration may proceed. If no alerts are generated or all alerts have been addressed, the Medication Administration screen will display. If the system prohibits the administration of a medication via Medication Verification and it is determined that the medication should indeed be administered, the medication may be administered via the MAR, where noted, until the issue is resolved.

 

Possible alerts and prompts are listed in the sections below.
