5.9
OPENING DRAWERS TO ADMINISTER MEDICATION
Once a Drawer is assigned to a Patient, it can only be opened by scanning the Location barcode – to refill the Drawer – or that
Patient’s wristband, when you are ready to administer medication. This ensures medication cannot be accessed or tampered
with between the point when the Drawer is filled and the point where the medication is retrieved. The typical workflow is
explained below.
NOTE:
Some aspects of this process are configurable (e.g., user, departmental and user group permissions), so the system
behavior may not be exactly as described here. Consult a Humanscale MedLink
TM
specialist to ensure the system is configured
for your specific needs.
5.9.1
OPENING PATIENT DRAWERS
1. Login to MedLink
TM
and begin the process on the Home screen with all Drawers closed.
2. When you are with the Patient and ready to administer medication, scan the Patient’s wristband barcode.
Ensure the MedLink
TM
window is in the currently active window, otherwise the barcode scan input will not reach the
MedLink
TM
software.
