Witness settings add an extra layer of safety when managing medication. By enabling this feature, you make sure that a second user confirms any action to add or discontinue a medication. This helps reduce errors and supports compliance with care home policies.
To enable witness settings, follow these steps:
Click Admin, then click Settings.
Click Care Home Settings.
Click Order Management.
In the Require Witness for Adding/DCing Meds section, select the appropriate checkboxes:
Discontinued Meds: Requires a witness when you discontinue a medication.
New Meds: Requires a witness when you add a new medication.
Click Save.
