• Track medication-related compliance metrics, audit findings, corrective action plans, and quality improvement initiatives, providing regular reports to leadership.
• Develop, implement, and monitor corrective action plans to address audit findings and ensure sustained compliance.
• Provide clinical coaching, mentoring, and ongoing support to Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), and residential staff to strengthen medication administration practices and clinical documentation.
• Plan and facilitate quarterly medication management and medication administration training for residential staff, as well as individualized coaching and refresher training based on audit results, regulatory updates, or identified performance needs.
• Serve as a clinical resource for medication administration questions, best practices, and regulatory compliance.
