The AWARDS MedSupport feature (provided by CaraSolva) is an add-on service that allows agencies to organize and automate repeatable medical functions, such as medication administration, vital sign readings, and designated tasks. When subscribed to, this feature is accessible from the Medical fly-out menu for users with permission, allowing for single sign-on access. For more information on this powerful add-on tool, please refer to the resources provided below.
Required Permissions
Because the MedSupport feature is an optional add-on service available by subscription, it is not automatically available in all databases, nor is it automatically available for all users when an agency subscribes to it. In subscribing agencies, access must be assigned to individual users and requires the following permissions:
Program Chart Access
Display Any Chart Records Buttons
Display Chart Records Medical Button
MedSupport Data Entry
NOTE: Permissions are assigned using the Permissions Maintenance feature. If you do not have access to that feature and need a permission listed here, please contact your supervisor or your local Help Desk for assistance.
