Hey everyone,
We need to go over double checking medications again. We really want to get to the point of zero mistakes. Unfortunately, we have had two mistakes made this past week. I know we are better than that so please take this seriously, slow down and take the time to check your team mate.
Please check the following:
- Patient’s Name
- Medication name and strength is correct on the label
- Medication name and strength is correct in the medication vial
- Directions on how to give the medication is correct
- Quantity is correct on the label
- Expiration date is correct (If anybody is looking for a job-see me!!)(We need to go through inventory and put in the correct expiration dates!)
- Doctor is correct
- Put the label on the medication vial before you have someone double check it!
Please take this very seriously! We need to make sure that our clients and patients are being well taken care of! We have been very fortunate that nothing life threatening has happened.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Erika
