Ace the Colorado QMAP Challenge 2026 – Conquer the Caregiving Frontier!

Providing clear answers based on training and encouraging the resident to consult their healthcare provider is the best approach in this situation. A QMAP (Qualified Medication Administration Personnel) is trained to have a fundamental understanding of the medications residents take but is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Clear answers help demystify the medications for the resident, making them feel more informed and secure about their treatment. Encouraging further discussion with their healthcare provider ensures that the residents receive comprehensive and personalized responses to their questions, which may include specifics that are beyond the QMAP's scope of practice.

This approach fosters trust and open communication between residents and their care teams, promoting a collaborative environment that prioritizes the well-being of the resident. It empowers residents to take an active role in their health care management, which can lead to better outcomes and satisfaction with their care.
