Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Medication time scheduled

    The system detects that a scheduled medication administration time has arrived for a specific resident. This triggers the automated tracking workflow.

  2. 2
    Action

    Send staff notification alert

    An automated alert is sent to the assigned nursing staff member's mobile device or workstation indicating which resident needs medication and the specific medications to be administered.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Check administration confirmation

    The system waits for a specified grace period (typically 15-30 minutes) and then checks whether the medication administration has been confirmed by staff in the system.

  4. 4
    Action

    Record administration details

    If confirmed, the system logs the medication administration time, dosage, and administering staff member into the resident's electronic health record. If not confirmed, it escalates to missed dose protocol.

  5. 5
    Action

    Generate compliance notifications

    The system automatically sends medication compliance updates to family members via the family portal and notifies the resident's physician of any missed doses or adverse reactions.
