Much to specific to be a reg!! I'm sure it's some facility
policy, probably related to a problem they once
encountered.

Okay, Gang,
Help me out again, please. My administrator has brought me
a draft policy regarding requirements for shift change MAR
review and accountability. He quoted a regulation as
follows, but is uncertain as to where this is located.
"At each shift change, there shall be a documented review
of the MARs by outgoing staff members that they have
properly administered medications in accordance with orders
by physician or other authorized health care providers and
have documented the administrations. Errors/omissions
indicated on the MARs shall be addressed and corrective
action taken at the time. The director of nursing shall be
notified and other persons as set forth in the policies."
Is this from Certification Regs? Licensing? His
imagination??
Thank you in advance.
