Tēnā koutou katoa,

We're committed to continuously improving Discover and have some exciting updates to share with our services this week. 

Playground

The following feature will be available via a phased rollout from 08 April 2026.

Medication Administration

We’ve made a significant upgrade to Medical Administration in Playground to support fully digital, compliant record keeping.

What’s new?

Digital signatures are here
You can now capture signatures for both the administering educator and the witness right in the app. This ensures your records meet compliance requirements, so you can transition away from paper forms.

Streamlined single-page form
We’ve simplified the process into a single easy-to-complete page, reducing time spent on admin so educators can stay focused on what matters most.

Fully digital records
With signatures included, Playground can now replace paper-based medication records entirely. Everything is securely stored and easy to access whenever you need it, with improved reporting on Playground web to capture the additional fields for better visibility and auditing.

Why it matters

Medical administration is a frequent and important task. These updates make it easier to record, manage and review medication events while staying compliant and efficient.
