Massachusetts Controlled Substance Log Book

Description

The Massachusetts edition is purpose-built for the recordkeeping a DPH, DDS, or MAP inspector expects to see at your facility. Every page references the Massachusetts statute or regulation it satisfies, so your nursing staff knows exactly why a field exists — and your inspector finds what they're looking for.

Designed in collaboration with charge nurses and group-home administrators across the Commonwealth, 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.
