Instruction Guide



Instruction Guide - MaPPs2® with MERLs Demonstration Portal 1. To use a live demonstration version of the MaPPs2 system including MERLs, click the link below: https://www.mimapps.org/mappslive/mistura/1000 NOTE: We suggest you use Google Chrome as your web browser for all Mistura web services as these are the most up-to-date and will allow you to use all the new functionality. Do not be alarmed when the ‘url’ automatically redirects in the toolbar, this is because each of our clients has a unique ID code allowing them secure access to the site. 2. This will open the page below in a web browser where you must check-in using your email

3. On the next screen enter the patient’s name, NHS number (if known but not necessary) and their date of birth, it’s a demonstration so use anything you like!

https://www.mimapps.org/mappslive/mistura/1000



4. The next screen allows you to begin searching the medication database for the drugs required in order to compile the patient profile so you can build the personalised print list

5. Click in the search bar and start typing the medication required using only the first few letters. You can use either a generic or trade name but as this is for demonstration purposes only the facility will only show one or two drugs for each letter. To begin, follow the steps below:

• Click in to the search bar and start typing the drug you require the information for

• I have used ‘Clozapine’ as an example to start our print list off

• Tab once to highlight the search box and click enter or use your mouse and select search

• If no drugs show up on the menu then you have spelled it wrong so try again



• As you can see the 2 formulations of ‘Clozapine’ available have shown in my search

• To view the medication content before adding to the print list click ‘Description’

• A box will appear on screen showing the chosen medication’s actual description

• The box can be removed by clicking ‘Close’ at the bottom right of the pop-up

• Or you can click the x in the top right corner of the pop up to close the description

• Alternatively you can select the drug to be added to the list by clicking the ‘add to list’ box

• You can also select a medication straight from the search screen and add to the patient print list by clicking ‘Add’ on the drug name on the search screen shown below

• This will be the start of your patient’s medication print list and will begin to build on the right hand side, also shown below



6. Search again to add another medication to the patient print list by repeating the previous steps

• Click into the search bar again and type the drug required then tab to the search box and hit enter, for example ‘Venlafaxine’ shown below

• Select the drug required by clicking ‘Add’ and it will appear on the patients print list which is building up on the right hand side

7. Search again to add the third and final medication in the demo version to the patient print list

• Click into the search bar again, tab to the search box and hit enter, for example ‘parac’ as I have which is shown below

• Again you can view the content before selecting the drug by clicking ‘Description’



• A box appears on screen showing the drug information content in MaPPs2

• As before this can be removed by clicking ‘Close’ at the bottom right of the pop-up

• Click ‘Add’ and the final drug selected will be added to the patient’s print list

• The patient’s print list to which you have been adding drugs to is shown on the right

• The demo print list featuring the 3 drugs selected is now ready to view and print

• Take note of the left hand menu as this is where the printable leaflet selection is made



8. From the MaPPs2 screen (shown above) click on the box showing ‘Normal Print’ on the left

• A new tab will open in your browser showing the printable leaflet created in MaPPs2

• This can be viewed on-line, saved to a PC, sent to a printer or emailed elsewhere

• Depending on the browser used there will be an option available to save the .pdf

• Generally, if you right click on the e-pdf your save/download/print options will appear

• This is the e-pdf which will open directly into your browser window but in a new tab



• This is the downloaded .pdf which I saved in to the documents folder on my PC

• Your organisation may have a shared drive where you can store documents, you will either need instructions how to do this form your IT department or they might have to do it

9. From the MaPPs2 demo screen click on the box showing ‘Large Print’ on the left-hand menu

• A new tab will open showing a large print version of the printable leaflet created

10. From the MaPPs2 demo screen click on the box showing ‘Easy Reads’ located on the left

• A new tab will open showing an easy read version of the printable leaflet created

• This will only be available if the easy read content has been pre-populated

• We are currently in the process of doing this with C&M drugs first followed by the top 500 selected within the MaPPS2 system, then the next most popular 500 and so on…

• Easy Reads have all sections of the MaPPs2 monograph translated in to simple images and easily understandable small sentences

• These leaflets are aimed at both children and the elderly as well as any patients with learning difficulties

• Additionally, the leaflets have been tested in none English speaking patients and have proved to be an effective alternative to no information at all

• Again, this is the epdf which will open directly into your browser window but in a new tab



11. From the MaPPs2 demo screen click on the box showing ‘Reminder’ located on the left

• A new tab will open showing the reminder chart in editable e-pdf format

• All boxes feature either a drop down menu selector or include space to free text

• Click into the first column of drop down boxes to select the dose unit required

• Click into the meal time boxes on each drug line to select the number required

13. Go back to the MaPPs2 demo screen and now click ‘Resources’ further down the left menu

• A new tab will open showing the resources available by their sections

• The sections include safety information, safe storage details, etc…

• Pick what section you want to print information from then select the leaflet



14. Go back to the MaPPs2 demo screen and now click the ‘Clear’ box, further down the left menu

• This will clear the patient’s print list removing all the drugs selected previously

• For demonstration purposes another search can be started by repeating the steps above

• Clearing the print list will not make the system ready for a new patient

• It will simply clear the list of drugs already entered on to the system and will still retain the patient’s details entered previously

15. On the MaPPs2 demo screen click the ‘New Patient’ box on the lower left hand menu
