Fred Pak Patients and their Medication
Fred Pak
Patients can be either community or nursing home patients. Packing for community patients is the same as packing for a nursing home patient. A "nursing home" needs to be set up in Fred Dispense for each packing type and packing cycle that you need to pack for—even though the patient does not technically reside in a nursing home. See Add or Update a Nursing Home.
Before you can pack for a patient, you need to place the patient in a "nursing home" in Fred Dispense. You can add the patient to a new or existing nursing home. For information on how to do this in Fred Dispense, and Add a Patient to a Nursing Home.
For example you may set up a Community Patient Weekly home (packing beginning on a Tuesday), a Community Patients Weekly home (packing beginning on a Sunday) and a Community Patients Monthly home. See Set Up a Nursing Home for Packing for details.
