Build your medication tracker.

How to build your medication tracker

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Build a medication log around recorded instructions and reported entries.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the log owner records the schedule and how the appropriate care contact reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your medication tracker

• Keep the schedule in context

  Keep schedule, reported dose, source instruction, missed entry, review contact and log together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A sample dose has no recorded confirmation. Show the missing entry without telling a person to take an additional dose.

• Keep log visible

  Keep a missed or uncertain entry visible for the person's appropriate care contact.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the log owner a working view and the appropriate care contact a review view. Keep schedule and reported dose attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
