Who is responsible for ensuring that a day program has everything required for medication administration?

The staff at the residential program holds the responsibility for ensuring that everything required for medication administration is in place. This includes maintaining proper protocols for storing, managing, and administering medications to the individuals in their care. The staff is directly involved in the daily operations and is trained to follow regulatory and safety guidelines surrounding medication administration.

While the MAP consultant may provide guidance and expertise, they do not operate the program on a day-to-day basis. The physician's role is primarily to prescribe medication and medical treatment, and the family might be involved in the patient's care and support, but they are not directly responsible for the program's operations related to medication administration. Thus, the operational responsibility lies squarely with the staff at the residential program, ensuring compliance with both legal and safety standards.
