When a medication is no longer needed on the MAR Chart, discontinuing it will move the medication from the client's MAR Chart to their medication History and remove it from the app.
To discontinue, you must be an admin or senior with medication permission. Learn how to discontinue a medication below.
Step 1:
On the client's medication page, go to the medication that needs to be discontinued
You can do this by clicking the name of the medication in the MAR chart on the client's profile.
Step 2:
Next, click 'Configuration' in the top right-hand corner. This is also where to go if you need to edit the medication.
Step 3:
Click the red 'Discontinue' button in the bottom left-hand corner.
Step 4:
A window will appear, asking you to specify the reason for discontinuing this medication.
Here, you can add any necessary details that need to be stored. This will be saved as a log for your reference regarding this medication, allowing you to review it at any time. You will need to write something to be able to discontinue a medication.
Step 5:
Click 'Discontinue' and that's it!
Discontinued medication rounds cannot be signed in the Carer App.
Now, that medication will be moved from a client's MAR Chart to a client's medication history. You can get to the 'History' section from the 'History' button in the top right corner.
The medication will also be viewable from the MAR chart. To see a discontinued medication in the MAR chart, you'll need to change the date to when it was active.
