About the medication calculator
SmartFlow has a medication calculator. SmartFlow automatically shows the medication calculator when you add a medication to a patient's flowsheet.
- Calculate the dosage of a medication
- Calculate the total volume of a medication in milliliters
- Calculate the total volume of a medication in milligrams
- The unit of measurement of the concentration is different to the unit of measurement of the dosage
- You did not record the weight of the patient
SmartFlow uses the patient weight to do the necessary calculations. As a result, SmartFlow does not automatically calculate the total dose and total volume of a medication. You must enter the necessary dosage each time you must add a medication to flowsheet.
