The Nurse Delegation Program (NDP) is designed to
assure that all facilities operated under contract by
the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental
Retardation are compliant with the Alabama Board of
Nursing regulations on the administration of
medications, and to assure that all residents who reside
within facilities contracted by ADMHMR receive
appropriate medical care. The Medication Assistance
Certification Program for the Alabama Department of
Mental Health and Mental Retardation applies to all
facilities that are certified by the Department to
provide assistance to individuals with serious mental
illness, mental retardation or substance abuse.
This program contains the following components: 1)
administrative guidance on program structure, 2)
educational programming for both the medication
assistant supervising nurses (MAS nurse) and medication
assistant certified staff (MAC staff), 3) quality
assurance monitoring at the facility level, and 4)
quality assurance review by the Alabama Department of
Mental Health and Mental Retardation, as well as the
Alabama Board of Nursing.
