Description

The California edition is purpose-built for the recordkeeping a CA Board of Pharmacy + CDPH + DDS inspector expects to see at your facility. Every page references the California statute or regulation it satisfies, so your nursing staff knows exactly why a field exists — and your inspector finds what they're looking for. This California controlled substance log book serves group home medication log California use cases as well as CA narcotic log book needs and CA DEA compliant log requirements.

Designed in collaboration with charge nurses and program staff across Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento, the layout puts the most-used fields (date, time, patient, medication, dose, witness, count remaining) at the top of every entry and reserves the bottom of the page for end-of-shift reconciliation. Built for community care facilities, LTC, ARFs, and pharmacies.
