Medication Schedules:

These are the names of your facility's times that you might distribute medication (AM, Lunch, PM, etc). These medication schedules will be presented as options when you or a customer edits an animal. Animals may be assigned more than 1 medication schedule, or none at all. To set these up:

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Medication. 
   

    

2. Click +Add.
   
   
3. Enter a Time. For example: "AM" or "Lunch."
   
   

   

4. Click Save or Save And Add Another.
   
   
5. Repeat until you have set up all of the medication schedules you would like to choose from.
   
   

Medication Units: 

These are the units of measure that the medication amounts refer to, such as "tablets" or "mL"

Medication Types: 

This allows you to optionally set up the types of medication animals may have.
 

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Medication » Medication Types.
   
   

   

2. Click +Add.
   
   
3. Enter Code: Enter a short code to identify the medication type.

5. Indicate whether this medication type should carry a Charge for Administration. This setting is related to the pricing Rules "Medication (per administration)" and "Medication (Daily Charge)"
   
   
   • If you have set up one of these pricing rules, selecting yes/on here will create a charge when the administration of this type is recorded on a medication report
