Pennsylvania Controlled Substance Log Book

Description

The Pennsylvania edition is built around the unique stack of regulators that govern controlled-substance recordkeeping in PA community homes and LTC facilities: ODP under DHS for community homes, the Board of Pharmacy for licensed pharmacies, and the DOH for skilled facilities. One log, every regulator's checklist.

Designed with input from program specialists running 6400-licensed community homes across Allegheny and Philadelphia counties, the layout puts the count, witness, and reconciliation fields where staff actually need them — not buried at the back of the book.
