Usability Improvement
Coming soon
Doses can now be entered in half steps — 0.5, 1.5, 2.5. A half tablet is recorded as exactly that, from the moment you set the medication up to the moment you give it.
Half-step doses work everywhere you handle a dose: in the medication catalogue, when adding and prescribing a student's medication, and when administering from the dispensary — both over-the-counter and prescription-only items. Type 0.5 for a half tablet or 1.5 for one and a half, and that exact amount carries through to the administration record.
Half doses come up constantly — younger students, tapering, medications that simply come in one strength. Now a single prescription covers the whole regimen, and the student's medication history shows the precise amount given rather than a rounded one. Your dispensary counts stay accurate too, because what you record is what came out of the cupboard.
Go to Medication Management
Open the student's prescription, or add a new one
Enter the dose in half steps — type 0.5 for a half tablet
Save — staff will see the same amount when they administer it from the dispensary
Give it a go next time a half dose comes up. Questions? Reach out to your CSM.
