32 | Allegation: Facility did not assist residents with self-administration medication as prescribed
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, LPA reviewed R1's centrally stored medication logs and medication administration records dated 11/2021 until 12/2022. LPA observed R1 was prescribed medications by 3 different doctors and prescriptions were filled by Omnicare & Gateway pharmacies. Medications prescribed to R1 did not include psychotropic medication Xyprexa. However, LPA observed R1 was prescribed psychotropic medication Risperidone and anxiety medication Lorazepam by a different doctor. Review of medication administration records dated 09/01/2020 until 12/30/22 show staff (RCD, S1, S2) administered the medications as prescribed to R1.
LPA reviewed R2's centrally stored medication logs and medication administration records dated 11/2021 thru 01/2023. R2 was prescribed medications by 4 doctors and prescriptions were filled by Omnicare and Gateway pharmacies. R2 was prescribed Clozapine medications by her doctor and filled by the pharmacy from 11/15/2021 with expiration dates of 12/20/2022 and 01/27/2023. Review of medication administration records dated 09/01/2020 until 12/30/22 show staff (RCD, S1, S2) administered the medications as prescribed to R2.
LPA also interviewed residents (R1, R2) who confirmed they take their prescribed and over the counter medications daily from staff as ordered by their primary care physicians.
Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation that the facility did not assist residents with self-administration medication as prescribed and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation that the facility did not assist residents with self-administration medication is unsubstantiated.
No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided. |
