Counting, checking, and locking.
Abstract
Medication Use (TX.3) stimulates many questions: Is the JCAHO driving your actions; is it a sacred cow; is it "we've always done it this way"; do the state, local, or federal laws and rules mandate that you do these things? The JCAHO requirements differ from other agency mandates-counting ensures an adequate supply of drugs and prevents diversion; checking maintains readiness; and locking controls and secures drugs.
