After a medication has been administered, can it be edited?

Once a medication has been administered, it cannot be edited in the system. This is to ensure the integrity of medical records and to maintain accurate documentation of what has occurred during patient care. Editing entries post-administration would compromise the reliability of medical data and could lead to serious medication errors, potentially affecting patient safety.

The focus here is on the importance of accurate record-keeping in healthcare settings. It ensures that healthcare professionals have the correct information regarding medication history, which is crucial for ongoing patient care and treatment decisions. Therefore, once a medication administration has been documented, it remains as-is to provide a complete and trustworthy record of the patient's treatment journey.
