Create Medication Taper Schedules

You can create, modify, and delete dosing tapers in the Medication Taper Schedules panel. Tapers are specific to the medication line. You must configure multiple tapers for medications with multiple doses.
  1. On the MAR Configuration (BH) template, expand the Medication Taper Schedules panel.
  2. Select a taper name.
  3. Select a medication.
    The MEDID field displays the medication ID for the selected medication.
  4. In Day, enter the number of days to administer the medication.
    For example, if a medication is given twice a day for three days, a taper record for each day and time (day 1, day 2, day 3, time 1, and time 2) is created for a total of six taper entries.
  5. In the Med Time field, enter the time of day to administer the medication.
  6. Optional: To remove data from all of the fields, select Clear All.
  7. Select Add New.
  8. Optional: To delete a medication taper schedule, select the record, and then select Delete.
