ADVICE...? Please help me think of a way to solve this issue
Could someone give me a "SIMPLE" solution to this problem....

As everyone knows in the Nursing Home Setting, medication is dipensed thru a med cart with a M.A.R. binder to sign off the medication that has been dispensed to the residents, and at the end of each shift (7-3, 3-11, 11-7) All nurses must sign off and count off on the "NARCOTICS" that have been dispensed thruout the day.



So my question is...how can I make a system up to where all my nurses need to do counts and sign off for the ENTIRE MED CART (all meds, prn, and narcotics)



Its easy to make up narcotic sheets when there's usually a few narcotics for each resident. Now that I need to have the staff sign off in the M.A.R. while dispensing and count all meds at the end of shift it gets tedious and they're going to spend too much time counting all the medications. So Im trying to create a system that would be simple yet serve the purpose intended.

(if you're wondering, this was not an idea from me but from higher authority.... )
