Expected stock shows how much medication the system thinks you should have, based on what’s been entered.
When adding a medication, select the correct unit from the dropdown for stock to reduce automatically. As long as the dose unit you choose matches the stock unit used for counting, the system will automatically reduce the expected stock count whenever the medication is administered.
For example, the selected dose unit of Zerolon barrier cream is 'drop'. Please ensure to pick a unit from the unit dropdown.
In order for the system to automatically update the stock, the stock unit for counting must also be 'drop'.
You can still track stock for custom medications, but your team will need to enter it manually.
Medication stock is automatically shown on a graph every time a medication round is signed and completed.
To view the medication stock graph:
Step 1: Go to your clients profile and click on 'stock' under the medication tab.
Step 2: Click on the medication you want to view
Step 3: You can filter by date and this will populate the graph
When stock counts entered through the app or the care office match the expected stock count, you'll see a green tick.
You'll be alerted if the expected stock count and recorded stock count don't match with a red warning sign. You can view low stock levels in the Reports section under eMAR Reports.
