Before you begin

1. Open the saved occurrence chip

Open Medicines → Medicine Administration and select the time chip for the correct medicine. The synthetic example opens the6:55PM original entry.

Saved administration occurrence chip. Actual MANSOQ application with explicitly synthetic local training data.
Saved administration occurrence chip · 2026-10-18. Audited production build, isolated synthetic Nurse fixture. No medicine administered and no real patient care.

2. Review the editable fields

The Edit Administration dialog permits Status and Administration Notes. Its saved medicine/dose/occurrence times are not editable in this path. Verify the record before changing it.

Mark the original entry as entered in error. Actual MANSOQ application with explicitly synthetic local training data.
Mark the original entry as entered in error · 2026-10-18. Audited production build, isolated synthetic Nurse fixture. No medicine administered and no real patient care. This build swaps prescriber/last-administration author labels in the dialog header; independent records verify Doctor prescribing and Nurse administration.

3. Mark an erroneous entry

Choose Entered in Error when that is the correct disposition and explain why in Administration Notes. Follow the facility’s correction policy. The example is a labelled software correction exercise.

This build swaps prescriber/last-administration author labels in the dialog header; independent records verify Doctor prescribing and Nurse administration.

4. Save and reopen the original

Select Update. Reopen the same time chip and confirm Entered in Error, the explanation and retained original times. Independent readback verifies the status update and original record ID.

This build swaps prescriber/last-administration author labels in the dialog header; independent records verify Doctor prescribing and Nurse administration.

5. Create a separate replacement if required

Return to the grid, select Administer, review the intended status and actual occurrence time, and explain the relationship to the earlier erroneous record. Save the corrected entry separately; changing a note does not replace the original event.

This build swaps prescriber/last-administration author labels in the dialog header; independent records verify Doctor prescribing and Nurse administration.

6. Verify both records remain

Confirm the original error chip and completed replacement chip. The training example retains6:55PM as entered in error and adds7:15PM as a distinct completed Nurse-created record. Independent readback verifies two IDs and explicit training notes.

Current authorship caption limitation

The audited dialog swaps “Last administered … by” and “Prescribed … by” author values. Independent records verify that Doctor prescribed and Nurse recorded the administration. This caption defect is preserved in the screenshot and is not a change of record authorship.

Verified result

The original completed state was independently read back before correction. Its entered-in-error state and the separate completed replacement were then independently read back. The old record is retained; no real medicine was administered.

Troubleshooting

The saved dose time or medicine is not editable

The documented edit dialog permits status and notes. Correct a mistaken record using the facility approved entered-in-error process; do not assume changing a note changes the original dose.
