More than mere medication charts; Compact has designed an entire system!

The aged-care industry is influenced by three factors:

  • People are living longer;
  • Medication for aged care is becoming more and more sophisticated;
  • Legislative requirements for the documentation of medication management are becoming more demanding.

 

Best practice in aged-care facilities

Medication management is a minefield for general practitioners, directors of nursing and managers of facilities and practices.

Doctors are chronically time-poor, don’t want to write up charts, and are not legally obliged to in some states.

However, Compact has developed a rigorous system of charts, forms and labels to ...

  • make it easy to document and review resident medication over a six-month period.
  • savetime and constant re-writing by doctors.
  • comply with best-practice requirements of the Australian Pharmaceutical Advisory Council.

All our forms are developed following feedback and day-to-day listening to people in the field, like yourself, and are upgraded constantly.
