Added: Version 3.11
A Patient Medication Record (PMR) is a way of recording all the medications a person is using, whether or not they were dispensed by you. The record contains useful information for the patient such as
Before adding items it is good to set up the standard purpose, instructions and item photo for common items at least. Once set up, you can add these to a particular patient's PMR with just the click of a button.
mSupply will automatically resize large photos when you add them- there is no need to resize photos yourself first.
On the default direction list, you can add a combination of abbreviation which can be used to fill in the direction while issuing drugs to patients.
To set up abbreviation, view 10.05. Abbreviations for dispensing
Add This is to add default directions. You may combine multiple abbreviation code to make up a sentence. You may even add a full sentence.
Delete This is to delete direction.
Direction for items that were added above will be available when dispensing to patients.
Note the Drop down list will now be populated by the default directions. Once a direction is chosen, mSupply will expand valid abbreviation to sentences. It is possible to have more than one set of direction as options.
There are 2 ways of adding items to a PMR
To edit a PMR, double-click the entry you wish to edit, change details, and click OK to save the changes and close the window.
To delete a PMR entry, highlight the record(s) you wish to delete, then click the delete button. (Do be careful- it's not reversible!)
When a PMR is printed, it has a header and footer. These are set up by choosing File > Preferences and then clicking the Patient Medication tab.
Note that you can style the text in these boxes by selecting text and right-clicking on your highlighted text to get a contextual menu to apply font styles, colour and size.
Simply click the Print button. Note that you do not have to highlight records- all records will be printed.
Currently we have included a single PMR printing form in mSupply. We are happy to include others- send us your designs.
