This course includes additional training for any staff who use HIFIS to record health-related information. It is intended for staff who have already received training about the core HIFIS functions. In this course, we will cover such topics as: tracking a client's dietary requirements, recording health issues, noting what medications a client requires, securely dispensing medication to clients, and doing pill counts.
The Health module is used to log any health issues a client has. It is important to note that HIFIS is not a medical database and any health information entered can be difficult to confirm and should be reported on with caution.
The Medication Dispensing module is used to dispense medication to multiple clients at once. It displays a list of all booked-in clients who require medication at a specific time, either morning, noon, evening, bedtime or PRN (as need), and allows you to check off who has received their medication.
The Dietary Requirements module allows users to track any food items that a client should avoid, or any food item that is essential to their diet.
