PRN Follow-Up Tasks – Ensure Medication Effectiveness and Accountability

We’re proud to introduce PRN Follow-Up Tasks, a new feature designed to help staff document and monitor the effectiveness of "as needed" (PRN) medications—improving compliance, care quality, and resident safety.

📋 PRN Effectiveness Follow-Up – Automated and Actionable

• When a PRN medication is administered, Curenta now automatically generates a Follow-Up Task one hour later.

• This task ensures the care team evaluates and documents the impact of the medication.

• The follow-up task is seamlessly tracked in the resident’s [Task List], [Medication History], and [Notes].

🔍 Key Features:

• Auto-Generated Task: PRN Follow-Up Task scheduled 1 hour after medication administration

• Task Title: "PRN Effectiveness Follow-Up – [Medication Name]"

• Guided Documentation:

  • Effectiveness (dropdown): Effective, Partially Effective, Ineffective, Other

  • Observations (free-text): e.g., “Pain reduced from 7 to 3”

  • Actions Taken (free-text): e.g., “No further intervention required”

📝 Logged for Accountability:

When completed, a Medication Note is created automatically with:

• User who completed the follow-up

• Effectiveness result

• Observations

• Actions Taken

• Date & Time of completion

• Note Type: Medication

✅ Key Benefits:

• Improved Clinical Oversight: Ensure medications are evaluated and tracked post-administration

• Better Compliance: Meet regulatory expectations for documenting PRN medication impact

• Enhanced Resident Care: Help caregivers make informed decisions for future interventions

Curenta makes it easier than ever to follow through with care—automatically, thoughtfully, and compliantly.
