Medication information changes over time, while each logged dose is an event. Strata keeps those kinds of records distinct so you can inspect a medication's current information and its history. Start by checking that the record matches the instructions you were actually given.
Check the medication information
Open Medications and select a record. Review the name, dose amount, and unit shown. A number without its unit can be misleading, and two similarly named records should not be treated as the same medication.
The information you enter is a record of instructions, not a new instruction issued by Strata. Do not use the app or an assistant to decide a dose change.
Separate prescribed information from logged events
The detail view includes dose-history information and logged doses. A prescription record describes an intended amount; a logged event describes what was recorded as taken. One does not establish that the other happened.
When recording a dose, use the actual date and time. A missing log means no event was recorded in Strata; it does not automatically prove that a medication was missed.
- Select the correct medication.
- Review the amount and unit.
- Record the event with its actual time.
- Check the saved entry in the dose history.
Preserve the history when instructions change
Strata's update-dose workflow records new dose information with a date and supporting context. Check that the change reflects actual instructions, including when it took effect.
Review earlier prescription records separately from current information. Keeping the dates visible helps explain why older logged events may refer to a different amount. For a backdated log, check which prescription information applied at that time rather than assuming the current amount describes every past event.
Use the history to prepare a clear account
Before discussing medication use, review the logged events and any gaps. Correct mistaken or duplicate logs carefully so that the record reflects what you know.
Questions about missed doses, interactions, or changing medication belong with a qualified clinician or pharmacist. This guide explains organization and verification of the record, not medication management advice.
An illustrative example
Two kinds of information
The mockup uses a generic 'Example medication' record. Its current-dose field and dated logged events are separate. No real drug or recommended dose is shown, so the visual demonstrates the record structure without giving dosing advice.
Keep this in mind
Keep names, units, effective dates, and logged events clear—and follow the actual clinical instructions.
