Comprehendive Medication Information
Webstercare has an extensive range of reports to assist you in providing documentation to your aged care homes. Nursing staff love the reports as it saves them a huge amount of time when preparing for funding requirements and putting in place programs and/or procedures.
"... our Pharmacy has been able to produce some of the reports you told us about. This has saved us a huge amount of time!"
The information used to create these reports is already in the Webstercare Medication Management Software, so reports can be printed at the click of a button, saving you time whilst expanding the services you provide. Some of the reports available include:
Clinical Correlation Report: Details all dosage changes and ceased medications over a period of time. The invaluable information contained within this one report can be used to associate falls for example, with medication changes. This information would otherwise be a time consuming process to obtain through auditing medication charts.
Psychotropic Drug Usage: Details the different types of psychotropic medications being taken by your patients.
Medication Usage Reports: Details the use of a particular medication by categories.
Medication Information Summaries: Summarises the medications being taken and the indications as per MIMS reference.
Medication Care Plans: Are a combination of a patient medication profile, Medication Information Summary and Clinical Correlation Report to give nursing staff a complete overview of a patients medication history.
These reports ensure you are completely informed of each patient's medication history.

Webstercare Medication Management Software (MMS) meets all the requirements for the PMP Funding. The aim of the Patient Medication Profile (PMP) Program is to reduce the risk of medication-related adverse events by assisting people to better understand and manage their medications, including prescription, over-the-counter and complementary medicines.
“A medication profile is a complete and comprehensive summary of a consumer’s current medications. The profile includes key details about the consumer, the issuing pharmacy, and the details of each medication such as active ingredient and brand names, strength and form, dose and directions for use, and other supplementary information (e.g. route of administration, indication, special directions).”
