Saves time and constant re-writing by doctors.
Complies with best-practice requirements of the Australian Pharmaceutical Advisory Council.

1. High care (individual dose) RN administration

Both charts provide six months recording of medication orders and administration. The advantage of this longer overview makes it easy for a doctor or pharmacist to review a resident’s medication history.

Each chart is designed to save constant rewriting and transcribing, so that medication errors are minimised.

High care chart can be adapted to suit high and low-care use for those facilities that have ageing-in-place.
