# Medication management

> Create medication templates on a client profile so workers are prompted to complete medication tasks during their shift in the vWorker app

The **Medications** tab on the client profile lets you create medication templates that workers see during their shift in the vWorker mobile app. Workers are prompted to complete medication tasks as part of their shift under **Complete Shift**.

## Adding a medication template

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Medications tab">
    Open the client profile and navigate to the **Medications** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new template">
    Click **Add New Template**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the medication details">
    Enter the following:

    | Field          | Description                                |
    | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
    | **Name**       | The medication name                        |
    | **Time**       | The time the medication is due             |
    | **Start Date** | The date from which the template is active |
    | **Dosage**     | The dosage instructions                    |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check shift timing">
    Make sure the scheduled time falls within the worker's shift window. If the medication time is outside the shift, the worker won't see the prompt in vWorker.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. The template is now active and will appear to workers under **Complete Shift** in the vWorker app during shifts with this client.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reviewing completed medication notes

Medication tasks completed by workers are recorded as notes. To review them:

1. Go to **Reports** → **Notes Report**.
2. Select the medication note type from the drop-down list on the left-hand side.
3. Sort, filter, or export the results to Excel.

See [Notes report](/reporting/notes-report) for details.
