Who this template is for

Medication Administration Authorization is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in daycare forms.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 18 questions across 2 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 13 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Is this medication given at set times or only when needed?” is Only when needed, the form dynamically exposes “What symptoms should prompt a dose?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Is this medication given at set times or only when needed?” is At set times, the form dynamically exposes “Times the dose is due”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Giving a child medication is one of the few things a centre does where a guess is unacceptable. This authorisation records the exact name and strength, the dose in the units on the label, the times or the symptoms that trigger it, how long the authorisation runs and where the medication is stored — signed and dated by the guardian who asked for it.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
