MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

With appropriate permissions and as part of the care plan, family involvement is welcome. We value family support while maintaining resident privacy and autonomy. Family members can participate in medication education sessions and receive updates on medication changes with resident consent. We facilitate clear communication between residents, families, and healthcare providers.

Our facilities implement multi-layered security measures for medication safety. Medications are stored in locked cabinets in secure medication rooms with controlled access. We maintain detailed inventory logs, employ medication reconciliation procedures, and conduct regular audits. All medication administration is documented electronically for accuracy and accountability while preserving resident dignity.

We collaborate exclusively with licensed medical professionals who follow evidence-based prescribing practices. Regular medication reviews are conducted to evaluate effectiveness and appropriateness. Our team coordinates between specialists to prevent contraindications or interactions. We maintain comprehensive medication histories and employ medication reconciliation during transitions of care to ensure safe and appropriate medication regimens.

Our comprehensive error prevention system includes staff training on medication safety, electronic medication administration records, double-check verification processes, and clear labeling protocols. We implement the "five rights" of medication administration: right patient, right medication, right dose, right time, and right route. Any discrepancies are promptly reported and addressed through our quality improvement program.
