Supporting participant with day to day management of medications

At 2Step, we understand and recognise the importance of implementing the necessary measures to ensure medication is administered in a manner that is reliable, safe, and in accordance with the regulatory guidelines. 2Step will also ensure the safety and health of all persons within 2Step is recognised and considered at all times.
When administering or managing medication, workers will ensure to follow the participant’s Medication Management Checklist and the Medication Plan and Consent Form when doing so. By following these documents, workers can ensure the appropriate medication is administered with the appropriate
dosage in a safe and reliable manner. The administration of medication to participants allows workers to gain an understanding and increase their skills in administrative procedures.
In addition to this, 2Step Health Care‘s practices and operations are set to a standard that is per the regulatory guidelines set out in the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Framework.
2Step ensure that all standards are met in conjunction with the regulatory guidelines in a safe and appropriate method regarding the administration and supervision of medication.
2Step Health Care‘s Management recognises the importance of ensuring workers are supported when unsure of how to properly and safely administer a certain type of medication. In these situations, workers should be able to ask questions, raise concerns and queries, and receive a truthful response.
Management is responsible for ensuring workers delivering care are provided with the necessary
training and information to support the administration of medication.
2Step Health Care and its workers are responsible for notifying each individual of the procedures involved with medication treatment. When supporting participants with managing their prescriptions, 2Step Health Care can only do so according to the following preferred order:

  • If participants have the capability to self-administer and manage their medication and treatment effectively, then families and alternative support systems assist participants when handling specific areas of their medication.
  • If the participant self-administers medication with the assistance of a medical support personnel, then workers will provide assistance to participants who self-manage their medications and treatments.
  • For participants who cannot administer medication then workers are fully responsible for the administration and management of the participants medication.
