Getting Started
Before you can add medications to a patient's profile, Medication Management must be enabled in your Jane settings. Check out our guide on How to Enable Medication Management if you haven't done that yet.
Instructions
To add a medication to a patient's profile, follow these steps. Once added, the medication appears on the patient's Medications tab and can be included in chart entries.
- Open the patient's profile.
- Select the Medications tab.
- Click + Add Medication.
- Enter the medication details. You can include any of the following:
- Medication name (required)
- Dosage (strength, e.g., 10 mg)
- Dose form (e.g., tablet, capsule, liquid)
- Route (e.g., oral)
- Total quantity (e.g., 30)
- Frequency (e.g., once daily)
- Status (required): Active or Inactive
- Source: Patient-reported, External provider, or Clinic practitioner
- Start date and end date
- Instructions
- Save to favourites
🩵 Jane Tip: If you add certain medications regularly, consider saving them to your favourites list while you're creating them. If you've already added a medication to a patient's profile and want to save it as a favourite, you'll need to re-enter it directly in your favourites list. Check out our guide on How to Use Medication Favourites for more info.
- Click Add.
What to Expect
The medication appears in the patient's Medications tab. You can view it at any time by returning to the tab.
📣 Heads up: Medications cannot be deleted from a patient's profile once added. If a medication is no longer active, update the status to Inactive instead.
