In practice
The work behind medications.
Keep the medication record and the work around it together. Review current orders, recorded administrations, adverse reactions and S8 balances. At a transition of care, document the before-and-after medication lists and the discrepancies requiring clinical follow-up.
When a medicine changes, the next person needs to understand the current order and any unresolved issue. Connecting the medication list, administration record and review history makes that handover easier to follow.
Medication records
Record the medicine, dose, route, frequency, prescriber and relevant dates. Review active, held and ceased medications alongside the person’s record.
Administration recording
Record administration outcomes and relevant reasons. Review the witness and exception steps for controlled medicines in the administration workflow.
Schedule 8 register
Record controlled-drug movements and review running balances, performer and witness information. Follow identified discrepancies through the resolution workflow.
Adverse reaction records
Record the suspected medication, reaction, severity and action taken. Keep clinical response and any incident-reporting assessment distinct.
Medication reconciliation
Capture the pre-event and reconciled medication lists, discrepancies and review notes for admission, hospital transfer or return, pharmacy review and significant change.
Review work
Use medication oversight and exception views to identify records needing attention. Follow the underlying evidence with the responsible clinician.

Safe and quality use of medicines
Outcome 5.3 addresses medication systems, review and medicines-related adverse events. Apply the standards relevant to the service and support informed decisions.
Controlled medicines
Schedule 8 storage, records, witnessing and handling must meet applicable state or territory requirements. Confirm the register and operating procedures for your jurisdiction.
Transitions of care
Keep an up-to-date medication list and supporting information available to the professionals involved in care transitions.
Incident assessment
Record medication incidents and assess any SIRS reporting obligation against the defined categories and current priority criteria.

Clinical Care
Review medication information alongside the person’s clinical record and relevant observations.
SIRS & Incidents
Assess reportability and priority where a medication incident may fall within SIRS. Confirm the handover and external-notification steps.
Quality Indicators
Review medication-management evidence against the current QI definitions. A general medication-count flag is not the quarterly indicator calculation.
Questions about medications.
Which medication workflows does Statura support?
Review medication lists, recorded administrations, adverse reactions and S8 transactions, and capture reconciliation records. Use a demonstration to follow a medication change through the records and responsibilities relevant to your service.
How does medication reconciliation work?
The reconciliation form captures the event and time, pre-event and reconciled lists, discrepancies and notes. Your clinician reviews the sources and records the result; the lists and discrepancies are entered by the user. The form does not independently compare them with the medication chart or actual supply.
Does the S8 register establish compliance in every jurisdiction?
The register supports transactions, balances, witness information and discrepancy follow-up. Your organisation must confirm the applicable state or territory requirements and the workflow, including exceptions and external notifications.
Is a medication-count flag the same as a QI result?
No. Review the applicable QI definitions, population and collection requirements. Medication oversight flags support clinical review and should not be substituted for the quarterly indicator calculation.
