Medication Assistants in Nursing Homes - An Opportunity?
Medication Assistants in Nursing Homes - An Opportunity?
As many of you know, we have been asked to assist in the drafting of legislation that would add an endorsement to a Nursing Assistant Certified for the purpose of allowing a specially trained and qualified NAC to administer certain medications and treatments in nursing homes ONLY. There would be no requirement for a nursing home to adopt this model for their own use.
There is a great deal of research from across the country analyzing the role and ideal practices surrounding a successful online pharmacy viagra assistance program in nursing homes, supporting the concept that a Medical Assistant credential could enhance quality resident care, reduce medication errors, create an opportunity for licensed nurses to expand their ability to perform the critical functions of assessment and care planning, while providing additional career mobility within the community.
The state's Nursing Commission has offered to engage with us in further discussions about the possibility of adding such a credential to our health care system. We are also meeting with other stakeholders to gauge interest and understand the industry's potential concerns.
To date, no legislation has been introduced.
