Last week, I visited a local facility in Falmouth where the staff were struggling to manage their residents' complex medication regimens. They had recently received a citation for non-compliance with Massachusetts medication administration regulations. I realized that they needed more than just a one-time consultation - they needed ongoing support and guidance to ensure they were providing the best possible care for their residents.
What is MAP Consulting?
We've seen this scenario play out time and time again in facilities across Cape Cod. That's why we offer medication administration plan (MAP) consulting services, designed to support facilities in developing and implementing customized medication plans for each resident. Our team of experienced pharmacists works closely with facility staff to identify areas for improvement and provide personalized guidance on medication management.
Benefits of MAP Consulting
By partnering with us, facilities can ensure that their residents receive the right medications at the right time, every time. This not only improves resident safety and outcomes but also helps facilities maintain compliance with Massachusetts regulations. Our MAP consulting services include ongoing staff training and support, so facilities can feel confident that their staff have the knowledge and skills they need to provide high-quality care.

- We review and update medication policies and procedures to ensure they align with current regulations
- We provide training on accurate documentation and reporting of adverse events
