We are thrilled to let you know that we’ve added in an Over-The-Counter (OTC) Medication module into our application. What the heck is an OTC Medication module you ask? Well I’ll tell ya…
Many of our camps stock over-the-counter medications at their health center each summer? Things like Tylenol, Motrin, cough drops, or calamine lotion. These camps often require parent/guardian approval and/or approval by a healthcare provider for administration. In past years, we’d include these as standard yes/no questions in a camper’s health profile. This worked great, and you’d easily be able to filter for campers that were or were not allowed to receive a particular medication; however, these responses did not integrate throughout the rest of our application. So based on your feedback, we decided to create an OTC Medication Module to solve this problem. Here are the highlights…
Health Log Integration. One of the most frequent requests we’ve received over the last year was to integrate approved OTC medications into the health log. If your camp nurse is treating a camper and documenting the encounter in the Health Log, there is now an option to document OTC Medications the camper received. The Health Log will automatically populate with only the approved OTC medications for that camper, helping to add an additional safety check and also to improve efficiency in documentation.
List Builder and Reports Integration. Once you start using our new OTC module, you’ll have access to new filters for OTC medications in the List Builder and options for OTC Reports too. You can quickly get a list of all campers who are not approved to receive specific medications.
Healthcare Provider Authorizations. Families will still authorize medications as they normally would, but now if you require approval by a healthcare provider for administration, CampDoc.com will dynamically generate an authorization form that the parent/guardian can take for their doctor to sign and then re-upload into their account.
We are very excited about this new module, and can’t wait to hear what you think too!
