Dashboard: Med Pass

The Med Pass tab displays all patients that have medication(s) due for administration 24 hours before and after the current time. For information on creating medication orders, see our articles on creating custom and quick medication orders.

Required Permissions
This tab is available to users with the roles of Doctor, Nurse, or Super Admin

If you have chosen a certain location in the header drop-down (provided that you have access to more than one location), only buildings, patients, and programs associated with that location will appear.

The tab is organized by time slot, and each patient who is due for medication at that time will appear under it. For example, if two patients both had medication due at 8:00 PM on October 16^th, they would appear under the same timeslot.
