Medication Look up Tip

Note from Laurie F. to Mark B.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Mark and I communicated about a medication situation regarding a child he took a call for.  We learned a few things about working with Credible in such situations that he suggested I pass along to all of you.

When Mark looked up the meds for [a student] in Credible, they did not reflect Dr. Grimm's most recent med change which occurred Weds. 11/21/12.  That was the last day before the 4-day weekend and I wasn't here that day.  Although I plugged that med change into Credible today, over the long weekend, they were not there.  If there's ever any question that Dr. G, H, or C might have made a med change that I haven't seen or documented yet, please feel free to look in my box for the list of med changes each of our TCC doctors puts in my box at the end of each day they are here.

Also, the only way for me to include notations and descriptions of med reactions in the Credible medication section is to use the "Instructions" spot.  This spot does not show up visibly when you look at a child's medication list unless you click the little "+" sign before each med.  Then, the little box drops down and will show what was written.  For past notations of previous doses of any med, you would need to click the "History" spot.  Examples of what I might write include something like, "  Tenex dose increase to 1 mg in a.m., 2 mg in p.m. discontinued after two days due to report of lethargy. Dosage returned to 1 mg twice daily."
