Definition
A medicine administration in MANSOQ records a dose of medicine that staff gave to a patient. It is separate from the medication request, which is the order. You record an administration against a medicine that is already prescribed on the encounter.
MANSOQ shows the administrations of an encounter in the Medicine Administration sub-tab of the Medicines tab. The sub-tab shows a grid of medicines against six-hour time slots.
Key Attributes
| Components | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Medicine | The prescribed medicine that this dose belongs to. This field is mandatory. |
| Status | The state of the dose. See Status below. This field is mandatory. |
| Start Time | When the dose started. This field is mandatory. MANSOQ sets the current date and time by default. |
| End Time | When the dose ended. This field is optional. |
| Dosage | The dose, the route, the site, and the method. MANSOQ copies these from the prescription. |
| Administration Notes | Free text about the dose. This field is optional. |
| Performer | The staff member who gave the dose, and their role in giving it. The administration form does not collect this field. MANSOQ records the user who saves the record. |
Changes after you save
After you save an administration, the form lets you change only the Status and the Administration Notes. You cannot change the medicine, the dosage, the start time, or the end time. MANSOQ keeps the record when you mark it as Entered in Error.

|---|---|
| In Progress | Staff are giving the dose now. |
| Completed | Staff gave the dose. |
| Not Done | Staff did not give the dose. |

| Stopped | Staff stopped the dose before it finished. |
| Cancelled | Staff cancelled the dose before they gave it. |
| Entered in Error | Staff created the record by mistake. |
