The log entry can be edited within the Reconcile tab. There are a few different ways that a log entry can be edited. The route to take is dependent on the scenario.


Editing to account for waste:

  • If a log entry has already been created, but the full amount was not administered to the patient, the log entry needs to be edited:
    • The previously logged weights will need to be retained (written down) before removing them by selecting the red "X".
    • The pre- and post-weights will need to be re-entered next to the container that was used. 
      • If you are unsure of the pre- and post-weights, these fields can be left blank.
    • The true quantity administered to the patient should be input into the quantity field
    • The additional amount withdrawn from the container but not administered should be entered into the "waste" field
    • Enter a comment explaining why you are adjusting the log entry, and enter a signature and PIN.

Editing to add an additional amount

  • If no log entries have been logged from that container since the log that needs to be edited:
    • The previously logged pre-weight will need to be retained (written down) before removing the weights by selecting the red "X"
    • The pre-weight will need to be re-entered, and the new post-weight will need to be entered.
    • The new total quantity should be entered in the quantity field
  • If log entries have been created since the log entry that needs to be edited:
    • The bottle will need to be weighed before and after the additional amount is removed from the container to obtain a new pre and post-weight. 
    • The correct additional quantity should be entered in the quantity field.
    • The new total quantity will show an updated amount that includes the previous quantity and the additional quantity.
