ARTICLE: Pausing Medications in Dispensary
There may be instances where a student with a scheduled medication may be away from school or need to stop taking the medication for a duration of time. To avoid receiving any scheduled reminders regarding that student's medication schedule or inaccurately recording those instances as missed doses, you can pause the medication until a set date.
How to Pause a Medication
- Open the Dispensary from the top menu bar in your Reach portal.
- Select the the check box for the student for who you are needing to pause their medication schedule.
- Select Bulk Actions and select Pause Selected.
- In the pop-up window, select the date for which the medication will be paused until, and then select Pause.
- A paused medication will display the Pause icon in the notifications column.
How to Unpause a Medication
- When the student is ready to resume taking their medication, click the student's Pause icon.
- A message will appear indicating this medication is currently paused and ask if you'd like to unpause it now. Select Yes to unpause the medication.
