Medication Management Built for Skilled Nursing
Medication errors are the most common preventable adverse event in skilled nursing. AssistedCare puts five-rights verification into every med pass so your nurses can administer with confidence.
Challenges in Skilled Nursing
Manual Verification Misses Errors
Paper MARs and mental cross-referencing rely on human memory during the most hectic moments of a shift. Wrong-dose and wrong-time errors slip through when nurses juggle 20+ residents.
Controlled Substance Tracking Is Tedious
Counting, reconciling, and documenting Schedule II through V medications on paper creates gaps that expose your facility during DEA audits and state surveys.
Pharmacy Communication Delays
Faxed orders, callback confirmations, and manual transcription create a lag between physician orders and medication availability that can delay critical treatments.
How AssistedCare Solves It
Five-Rights Barcode Scanning
Every medication pass begins with a barcode scan of the resident wristband and the medication package. The system confirms right resident, right drug, right dose, right route, and right time before administration proceeds.
See Medication Management→Automated Controlled Substance Logs
Digital count sheets, witness-signature workflows, and automatic discrepancy alerts replace paper narcotic logs. Every transaction is timestamped and audit-ready.
Real-Time Pharmacy Integration
Electronic prescriptions flow directly to your pharmacy partner and verified orders return to the eMAR without manual transcription. Turnaround time drops from hours to minutes.
PRN Effectiveness Tracking
When a PRN medication is administered, the system prompts for follow-up effectiveness documentation at the clinically appropriate interval. No more forgotten reassessments.
Offline Med Pass Continuity
Internet goes down during the 6 AM med pass? Every medication order, allergy alert, and scanning verification continues working. Data syncs the moment connectivity returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. AssistedCare reads standard pharmacy barcodes on blister packs, unit-dose packaging, and multi-dose vials. If your pharmacy uses a non-standard label, our implementation team configures scanning to match.
The system cross-references every administered medication against the resident's allergy list and current drug regimen. Hard-stop alerts appear for critical interactions, and soft alerts flag clinical considerations that the nurse can review and override with documentation.
Yes. Sliding-scale insulin protocols are built into the eMAR workflow. Nurses enter the blood glucose reading and the system calculates the correct dose based on the physician-ordered scale, then verifies it during scanning.
Refused medications are documented with a reason code and automatically trigger a notification to the prescribing physician if refusal patterns emerge. The refusal is also flagged for care plan review.
AssistedCare's desktop application continues to function without an internet connection for a full nursing shift. All medication administration, charting, and clinical documentation works seamlessly offline, then syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
