Questions and answers

Victoria Adan
April 7, 2025

how to edit administration information? For example, if the wrong date was entered when dosing the patient.

Mr. Anderson
April 9, 2025

The administration information, including dosage details like date and time of injection, cannot be edited once the patient has been measured. Only the following fields can be changed on the Edit Screen after measurement: Patient Name, Patient ID, Sex, Address, Phone, and Tech ID. Therefore, if the wrong date was entered during dosing and the patient has already been measured, the administration information cannot be edited.
