A practical new Audit Tool and Checklist is now available to support residential aged care facilities (RACFs) in establishing or strengthening their Medication Advisory Committee (MAC).
Based on the User Guide: Role of a Medication Advisory Committee, this resource aligns with the Guiding Principles for Medication Management in RACFs and provides best-practice guidance for effective medication governance.
Key features include:
-
Assessment of MAC performance and compliance with best-practice guidance
-
Structured evaluation of medication management systems
-
An action plan section to help guide continuous improvement
This tool is particularly valuable for enhancing collaboration between pharmacy, GPs, and aged care management, and is a useful aid for implementing antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs.
Facilities can use the tool to assess current practices, identify risks, and plan improvements in medication safety and governance.
