As part of our Comprehensive Care Plan policy we designate that the Medex and Treatment Kardex are part of the care plan. This way we don't have to duplicate, it's always up to date and we never have to worry that someone didn't get into the care plan to add or delete a drug.

I will admit we have a lot of lasix on the RCP because it usually relates to edema which poses skin issues and also the impact it has on bladder continence and sometimes safety if they are trying to get to the BR.... but, could you elaborate on the deficiency a little more?
