Daily Dosing Log

(Topic Last Updated On: 06/07/2018)

Administration > Daily Dosing Log

The Daily Workstation Dosing Log application window is launched by clicking on the Daily Dosing Log menu item found on the Administration menu. From this application window, the details about individual dosing transactions performed on the workstation, can be reviewed for a selected date. A process has been built into the dosing procedure that will automatically create a local file that contains all doses a workstation has dispensed in a given day, including dispensed inventory details. This log file is needed in the event the facilities Methasoft server goes down and a backup has to be restored. This file will allow Methasoft Support to see what doses were dispensed that might have been lost in the period since the last transaction log backup. This local log file is located in the file path: X:\Program Files (x86)\Netalytics\Methasoft\DailyDosingLogs\. This feature is also useful in unique situations where the patient's doses were not recorded in Methasoft for whatever reason, allowing Methasoft Support technicians to review what doses (if any) were recorded in the Daily Dose Log. Each individual patient's dosing transactions are displayed separately in the grid. Each dosing record can be expanded to display Inventory details about the dosing transaction.

Take On

This column displays the date the dose was to be ingested by the patient.

Dose #

This column displays the Dose Number of each dose, which applies to patients receiving split doses.

The Inventory column header bar contains a unique Column Divider tool that can be moved (left-to-right) along the Inventory column headers. This tool is used to 'freeze' the columns in the grid. Single-click and drag the Column Divider to the desired column position. All columns to the Left of the divider will remain in place as the horizontal scrollbar is moved.

Procedures

How to Review Daily Dosing Log Details
1.) Upon initial launch of the Daily Workstation Dosing Log window, Today's date will default into the 'Log Date' field. Select or enter the desired dosing date to be reviewed. 2.) Each individual dosing transaction, recorded for every patient dispensed from that workstation on the selected date, will display in the grid. 3.) Review the displayed dosing transaction records. To expand a selected record and display transaction specific Inventory details, click the '+' button to the right of the dosing transaction record. 4.) To collapse the Inventory details, click the '-' button to the right of the dosing transaction record. 5.) Once all desired dosing transaction and/or Inventory details have been reviewed, click the Close button to close the Daily Workstation Dosing Log window and to be returned to Methasoft.

Considerations

All Dosing Transactions are Logged Even if Undone.

The Daily Workstation Dosing Log stores all dosing tractions performed from the workstation, even when the original dosing transaction is undone from the Dose Patient screen. Undoing the dose does not remove the initial dosing record from the log. This feature is used as a review tool only and therefore, dosing transactions cannot be undone or edited from this application window. Dosing transactions can only be undone using the Undo button on the Dose Patient screen. *See the Undo Dosing Transaction procedure for more information.
