Medication Management Part 2

If you or your staff assist residents with self-administration of medications, then you need this class to comply with the nine topics required in Health & Safety code 1569.69.  Please note that the 40 hour Initial certification class does NOT meet these medication training requirements.  

This 2 hour class satisfies 2 of the 4 required hours of Medication training for facilities with a capacity of 15 or less residents. Take Medication Management Part 1 to get another 2 hours of Medication training.

The final 2 hours required by H&S code 1569.69 must be shadowing hours completed and documented in your facility by a qualified trainer.

The shadowing hours must be completed before assisting residents with self-administration of medications and all medication training completed within the first 2 weeks of employment.

For facilities with a capacity of 16 or more residents, 8 shadowing hours and 8 hours of online, classroom or other training are required. All other requirements remain the same as above.

This class qualifies for 2 continuing education hours for RCFE and ARF administrators and 2 hours for staff that assist residents with self-administration of medications.    Also provides 2 CE hours of NHAP credit.
