Caregiver Dashboard Help Center

Medication schedules, logs, and reminders

Follow this pattern to keep dosing records reliable, especially across multiple caregivers and shifts.

Build a safe medication schedule

  1. Create one medication entry per prescription with exact strength and route.
  2. Set frequency, time windows, and any food-related constraints.
  3. Add start date and, if needed, stop date.
  4. Enable reminders for all caregivers who administer medications.

Log every administration the same way

  1. Open the due item and confirm patient identity.
  2. Record dose given, exact time, and caregiver name.
  3. Add note only when needed: refusal, side effect, late dose reason.
  4. If not given, choose the correct status instead of leaving it blank.

Log one-time medication vs standing medication

  • One-time medication: log it as a single administration event and mark it complete after the dose is given.
  • Standing medication: log each scheduled dose separately so ongoing adherence stays accurate over time.
  • If a standing dose is skipped or delayed, record the correct status for that dose instead of editing previous entries.
One-time example: Acetaminophen 650 mg once after procedure, given at 14:10 and completed. Standing example: Lisinopril 10 mg daily at 08:00, logged each morning as its own administration record.

Example handoff

Morning caregiver logs Metformin 500 mg at 08:05 with breakfast. Evening caregiver sees complete log history and skips duplicate administration at 08:30 because the record is already present.

Smart rescheduling for standing medications

If a standing dose is missed or late, the app can try to move it to the next reasonable time instead of leaving it as missed.
