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:

✅ Key Benefits:
