Let's take a look at how this works:

1.  Find the individual in your list and go into the eChart. 
2. Click on the Medication tab.
3.  If adding a new medication click Add. If editing an existing medication-find the medication in the list and click on view and then edit. Once here, enter the medication information.
4. To enter sliding scale information, or any large direction, click where you see Custom Instructions. Here you can enter the directions exactly the way you want to see them. You can change the font size, make them bold, align, etc.There are some additional boxes you can mark. You can select to have a witness signature to the administration; Require the reading: staff will have to enter the blood sugar result; Specify the site: staff will mark where they placed the SQ injection
5. Continue to enter the rest of the information: physician, schedule and Save. 
6. After you have saved the information you will see a preview on the screen. Check over the information and make sure it's accurate.
