TX HHS Form 2993. General Residential Operations Medication Log

The TX HHS Form 2993, General Residential Operations Medication Log, is a crucial tool for healthcare providers to accurately record and monitor medication administration for children under their care. This form helps solve the problem of keeping track of multiple medications or supplements administered to a child, ensuring that all necessary information is documented in one place.

This log requires a cumulative record of all prescriptions, non-prescription medications, or supplements administered to a child, with each medication or supplement recorded on a separate log. The form includes essential sections for recording the child's name, date, drug or supplement allergies or contraindications, and prescriber information. It also allows for noting any refusals by the child and provides space for recording the reason for prescribed medications, including specific symptoms, conditions, or injuries.

The TX HHS Form 2993 is designed to be used in situations where multiple medications or supplements are administered to a child, such as in residential operations settings. The form must be updated within 2 hours of medication administration and kept together with the child's record. By using this form, healthcare providers can ensure that all necessary information is accurately recorded and easily accessible for future reference, meeting the requirements set forth by Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Standard 748.2151.
