Technical Assistance:

Today we discussed methods for ensuring that expired medication is not administered to children in care as well as ensuring that all required authorizations are signed by both the parent and the Physician, as required. If expired medication or medication with unsigned authorization forms are present in the center, then it is very likely that expired or unauthorized medication could be administered to a child. Please ensure that you are implementing methods to ensure these items are updated and completed if the medication is present in the center.
