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.

• From the Medication view, click Add new medication.

• Complete the medication details:

  • Required fields:

    • Name — If it is not listed, scroll up > Click Add Custom. It will be saved for future use.

    • Dosage Form (Capsule, Injection, Chewable Tablet, etc.)

    • Quantity and Unit (mg, mcg, ml, etc.)

    • Administration Start Date

  • Optional fields:

    • Time to Administer (if eMAR is disabled)

      • 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 its own row in the MAR Chart:
        8 am
        12 pm

    • Reason for use — Document the clinical indication or purpose)

    • How to administer (e.g. Topically - left elbow, Orally, IV, etc.)

    • Participant-specific information — Add any instructions unique to the participant.

    • End Date — Only add an end date if the prescriber has specified a fixed treatment duration, like a course of antibiotics. Do not add an end date if ongoing clinical review is required.

    • Frequency

    • Schedule — Enter a time and click + Add time. Repeat as needed for all required administration times.

    • Tag(s) and Reasons for tag(s)

    • Management Notes — Use Management Notes to capture additional oversight information, monitoring instructions, etc.

  • eMAR toggles:

    • Show in eMAR will be toggled on by default.

    • PRN Medication can be turned on if this is an as-needed medication

• Click Save new medication.

• After saving, users should:

  • Review how the medication displays

  • Confirm all information is correct and clearly presented

⚠️  Important: After saving, a medication cannot be fully edited. Only the End Date and Management Notes can be updated. Please review all fields carefully before saving.

Tags can be enabled in Medication 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

PRN medications will appear in the main medication list, not in the table below.

• Always review the medication display before and after saving.

• Don't just include required fields. Instead, aim to provide as much clinical information as possible to reduce risk and error.

• Use tags consistently.

• Structure administration times to align with MAR rows.

• Reprint MAR sheets after any medication change.

• Avoid unnecessary end dates.
