Adding a Body Map to medication instructions is a great way to give your carers clear visual guidance for medications that need to be applied directly to the body, like creams or bandages.
Adding a Body Map to a new medication
When you're setting up a new medication, follow these steps:
In the Medication Tab, select Add Medicine from the Actions menu.
Select the medication name.
Fill in all the medication info: start date, dosage instructions, rate, time labels, etc.
Click + Add Body Map.
Using your cursor, select where to place the area of application.
Add the instructions for that area.
Click Apply and then click Save.
Adding a Body Map to an Existing Medication
If you need to add instructions to a medication that's already in the client's list:
In the Medication Tab, click the 3 dots at the end of the medication in the list.
Select Edit Medicine.
Select the option Edit to Make a Correction.
Click + Body Map and follow the same steps as above to add the body maps.
Click Apply and then, Save.
Editing an Existing Body Map
If the application area or instructions need to be updated:
In the Medication Tab, select the medicine that contains a body map.
Click the 3 dots and select Edit Medicine.
Select Edit to Make a Correction.
Select Edit Body Map. Change or edit the areas of the body map and the notes if needed.
Click Apply and then, Save.
Body Maps in the Mobile App
Carers can easily check the body maps when looking at their medication administration task in the mobile app.
