Missing entries are medications that are listed as to be given on the atlas device for a scheduled time but were then not marked as given or not given.
Missing entries appear on the missing record tile on Atlas central after 48 hours from the scheduled time that was missed. They will stay on the dashboard tile and missing tab on the device for 28 days unless they are actioned. After 28 days the medication will no longer show in the missing records dashboard tile or on the missing tab on the device.
The MAR chart will then be marked with code X1 = missing entry (unspecified)
For all options listed below the residents timeline should also be updated to show that the missed medication was actioned as given, not given or unknown. It will show the date and time of the missed medication as well as the date and time the missed medication was actioned.
The missed medications can only be actioned via the atlas app on the device.
