Weekly Reminders & Log Corrections

A new OnTimeRx user asked:    

How do I schedule and log a weekly pain patch change? 

Answer:  
To set reminders to change the patch once a week:  Tap the Repeat button then tap on Daily (default) and select Weekly.  Then select the day of the week to change the patch. 
 

OnTimeRx tracks and logs medication usage, and displays compliance rates.  

When managing pain medications, it's especially important to track usage in order to have accurate compliance records. 

However, it isn't always possible to log the doses on time, and these doses will be automatically recorded as missed after 1 hour.  In order to maintain the log and keep accurate usage numbers, the log entries can be changed to correct any Missed (Late) doses.   

Tap the Log entry that displays an "M" and then tap the word Missed and select Changed.  Then set the approximate time the dose was actually taken.  (Minor difference = Android Log displays the corrected time, but the iPhone currently displays the original set dose time on the correct log entry.)
 This Log correction automatically recalculates your overall compliance rate and the rate for that specific drug.  It also recalculates the remaining Days Supply.
