Medication Administration Program (MAP)

MAP ensures the safe administration of medication to individuals living in community residential programs.

MAP increases the safety and security of medication administration for individuals living in Department of Mental Health (DMH), Department of Children and Families (DCF), MassAbility, or Department of Developmental Services (DDS) licensed, funded, or operated community residential programs that are their primary residences and/or participating in day programs and short-term respite programs. MAP makes it possible for direct care staff, who know the specific needs and concerns of each individual, to administer medication as a normal part of the individual’s daily routine. MAP is implemented through uniform, statewide standards that undergo continuous evaluation and improvement.
