    Your pharmacist is a great resource for medication/lab follow up. The basics are going to be Coumadin, Digoxin, diuretics

    Chart audits is easiest when done in the MDS cycle.

    Compliance rounds?? I just do those every morning on random units. Everyone is used to me hitting the floor in the morning and never knowing which floor I'm going to and as a result, it's usually pretty quick and painless for all.
