# How do I conduct an S8 Authority Chart Review?

## S8 Authority Chart Review

As a regulatory requirement medication charts are to be reviewed every 12 weeks or sooner for specific types of medications and/or e-prescribing requirements. This is extremely important as Medication Chart orders will only be valid for the applicable period. If S8/Authority Reviews are not conducted, the orders will expire and will not be a valid active medication.

From the Dashboard, **S8/Authority Reviews** dates display. Last and Next Review dates are clearly visible for each resident (you may click directly on the Resident's name from right side of the Dashboard). 

1. Click on theResident’s name under S8/Authority Reviews to display the Prescription renewal for **S8/Authority medications**
