Medication Error Report
A medication error report form that the worker completes immediately after any medication administration error and files with the incident report. A supervisor reviews it, and the director also reviews serious errors.
What is inside:
- Details of the error: date, time, location, participant, worker involved and type of error
- Medication involved, comparing the prescribed and actual dose, route and time
- Description of what happened and how the error was identified
- Participant response and any adverse effects
- Immediate actions taken, including calls to 000, the GP or Poisons Information on 13 11 26, and who was notified
- Reportable incident check with NDIS Commission notification timeframes
- Root cause and prevention actions
- Sign-off by the reporting worker, supervisor and director
Good to know: this is an internal record and does not replace a reportable incident notification to the NDIS Commission where one is required. Near misses and non-administration incidents use a separate medication incident form.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
- Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
