How to Add Medications

The Medications feature in StoriiCare allows clinical staff to record, manage, and print accurate medication records for participants, including MAR (Medication Administration Record) sheets.

This guide explains how to add medications correctly and highlights important clinical and compliance considerations to ensure safe and accurate medication management.

When adding medications to the system, users are trained to:

• Carefully review how the medication displays back in the system after saving, ensuring the description is accurate and unambiguous

• Always include dosage and frequency of administration

• Only add an end date when a prescriber has specified a time-limited course (e.g. antibiotics), where no clinical review is required before stopping

• Print a new MAR sheet whenever a medication is added, changed, or stopped

• Ensure PRN medications are clearly identified and documented correctly

These practices help maintain safe, compliant medication records.

1. Open a Participant’s profile.

2. Click Medical Info.

3. Select Medications.

4. Click + Add New Medication.

Complete the medication form carefully:

• Select the medication from the list

• If it is not listed:

  1. Scroll to the top

  2. Click Add Custom

  3. Type the medication name

• The medication will be saved for future use

• Always include the dosage and unit (e.g. mg, ml, units)

• This information is required for safe administration

• Document the clinical indication or purpose

• Enter administration instructions clearly (e.g. Topically - left elbow, Orally, IV, etc.)

• Add any instructions unique to the participant

• Enter the date the medication begins

• Only add an end date if the prescriber has specified a fixed treatment duration

• Example: a 7-day course of antibiotics

• Do not add an end date if ongoing clinical review is required

• Enter the time the medication is administered

• If medication is needed multiple times per day, enter the times in the following format to ensure each time has it's own row in the MAR Chart:
  8 am
  12 pm
  4 pm

• Click Add Task

• Select the next date of administration

• Enter the time of administration

• Select the recurrence of administration

Tags can be enabled in Settings and are used to:

• Highlight important medical distinctions

• Filter MAR sheet printing

Common tag examples include:

• PRN

• Narcotics

• At Center

• Always apply a PRN tag to PRN medications

• Do not rely on free text alone to identify PRN status

• Free text administration directions must still be added

💡 PRN medications are to be documented in the main medication list, not in the table below.

Staff are trained to record PRN administrations from the main list.

When all fields are complete:

• Click Save New Medication in the bottom-right corner

After saving, users should:

• Review how the medication displays

• Confirm all information is correct and clearly presented

• Always review medication display after saving

• Include dosage, frequency, and administration details

• Use PRN tags consistently

• Structure administration times to align with MAR rows

• Reprint MAR sheets after any medication change

• Avoid unnecessary end dates
