There are two ways you can update a stock count in the Carer App.
Option 1 allows you to enter all the medication stock for a resident in one go. This is handy for booking/checking in medication or returning medication, to make sure the stock is all up to date.
Option 2 allows you to enter stock for a specific medication. This can be used when you are administering controlled drugs and only need to write a count for that medication instead of all of them.
Option 1: Enter all the medication stock at the same time
Step 1: On the resident eMAR page, scroll down and click on 'Medication Stock'
On this page, you'll see a list of all the medications for this resident with the expected stock or the last counted actual stock.
Step 2: Click 'Enter stock count'
You'll then be given a page to update all the stock for the medication. It's not necessary that you fill out every one, so feel free to leave some if you haven't counted it.
Step 3: Click 'Next' and then 'Save' 👍
All the new medication stock numbers will create a log and then be saved onto the system.
Option 2: Enter stock for a specific medication
Step 1: Click on 'View more information' text button at the bottom of any medication card 🔍
Here, you can see more information about the medication, like when it was last administered and logs.
Step 2: Click 'Stock Count' at the top of the page ☝️
You'll then be given the space to enter the stock count.
Step 3: Press Save and you're all done 👍
That count will then be saved as a log which can be viewed in the medication stock screen in the Care Office.
