## Adding a Medication Record to a Case Study

### Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Enter EdEHR in Course Designer Mode.
2. Select the relevant case study (either via a linked activity or from the Case Studies menu).
3. Sign in as the appropriate healthcare professional (e.g., Nurse for medication administration).
4. Navigate to the medication orders section of the case.
5. Add a new medication:
   1. Use the standardized medication list/library if available.
   2. Copy and paste the medication name directly from the list to ensure barcode compatibility.
   3. Enter the dose, route, and any other required details.
6. Save your changes.
7. (Optional) If the medication isn’t in the library, document your process and notify your admin or support contact.

Tip: For barcode scanning, always use the exact medication name and dose as in your institution’s drug library.

## Assigning or Editing MRNs

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. When creating or editing a case study, locate the MRN (Medical Record Number) field.
2. Enter a unique identifier—for example, “12345T2W1” for Term 2, Week 1.
3. Stick to a consistent format across your cases for easy tracking.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Use a format that makes sense for your team and is easy to search or filter.
{% endhint %}

## Switching User Roles for Documentation

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. While editing a case study, sign in as the role you need (e.g., Nurse, Doctor).
2. Enter the relevant documentation (nursing notes, orders, etc.).
3. Sign out and back in as another role if you need to add documentation from a different perspective.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: This keeps your case study realistic and helps students see the workflow from multiple roles.
