Medication errors are among the most serious things that can go wrong in disability support. Paper charts get lost, signatures get missed, and an S8 balance that doesn't add up is hard to explain. Rostery records each dose with who gave it and what happened.
How medication management works in Rostery
On the Medications page, the office records each participant's medications: name, dose, frequency, route, form, prescriber, pharmacy, dates, instructions, PRN status and schedule (S2, S3, S4, S8 or unscheduled). Each dose is recorded with its outcome (given, refused, not available, held, or PRN not required), the dose given, notes and an effectiveness review. Every record needs the carer's typed signature, S8 doses need a witness, and each S8 dose reduces a running balance. The list shows each medication's last outcome and seven-day counts, and the Medication Usage and Adherence reports summarise it.
In the Rostery app, workers see the participant's medication list and fill in the Medication Administration Chart: given or not given, the reason if not, the time and their initials. The office can have AI read the chart's medication list from a PDF.
