      What is the eCDR?

      eCDR stands for electronic Controlled Drug Register. This replaces your Drug Book.

      You will recognise if you have the eCDR database if the Actions tab to the left of your dashboard on your home page includes the Administration button. This functionality allows you to record medication administration and the removal of drugs from the Resident Medication Stock or Imprest/Emergency Meds/Ward stock.

      1. To record medication Administrations, and removal of the medication from the Drug Register, click on the Administration button
      2. Click on the Search for Resident button
      3. You will enter either the Resident name or Medicare number into the search field. Include Inactive residents if required, or if the resident has not yet been added into the database, click the + Add New Resident button
      4. Click into the Search field and type the resident’s name 
      5. Then click the Search button
      6. Select the correct resident
      7. Enter the Prescriber’s Name or number into the Search for Prescribers field
      8. If you cannot locate the Prescriber, click the Create Prescriber button
      9. Select whether this is Imprest/Emergency Meds/Ward Stock or Resident Medication and click the relevant button
      10. Click into the Select medication field. Select the medication to be administered and to be removed from the Drug Register
      11. In the Quantity field, enter the quantity of medication administered to the resident and removed from the Drug Register
      12. Then click the Add button
      13. Then click Complete, or if you wish to record another medication removed from the drug register for administration, click the Complete + New button
      14. The primary nurse is prompted to enter their Password/PIN and click Sign
      15. The Witness is prompted to enter their Username and Password/PIN, then click Sign

      The Drug Register has now recorded that the number of items were removed from the safe for the purposes of Medication Administration for the resident. The balance on the drug register has also been updated accordingly and the Transaction details are also visible by clicking into the transaction itself.

      Also note that if this drug safe retrieval for the purposes of Administration is in error, simply click the Reverse Entry button.
