32 | Allegation: Facility staff have not received required training prior to assisting with medications
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, medication technicians' staff (S2, S3) confirmed with LPA that they completed all required medication administration training (shadowing & Relias trainings) prior to independently working as full time medication technicians. ADM stated that new medical technicians are required to complete 16 hours of medication administration on the job shadowing with experienced medical technicians. ADM stated each medical technician is also required to complete a Medication Pass Fundamentals Video Training which covers the safe preparation, security and proper administration of controlled substances, prescriptions and over the counter medications. Staff (S1) oversees the completion of each medical technicians' required on the job training and signs off on the medication pass certifications prior to releasing each new medical technician for work duty.
At 1PM, LPA reviewed staff (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6) medication administration training records dated 01/01/23 to 03/01/24. LPA observed that all medical technicians completed their required job training certifications prior to working as full time medical technicians. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that facility staff have not received required training prior to assisting with medications is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies observed during visit.
