Authorization Document Note
For each child who requires medication at your center, store a copy of the signed authorization form in the Document Vault under the Health Records category. This makes it easy to produce during inspections.
Medication policies and who may administer medication to children in a childcare setting are governed by state law. Confirm your center's obligations with your licensing office before creating your medication management procedures.
