25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Spencer conducted a case management visit to follow-up on an incident report dated 6/28/21. LPA Spencer was met by administrator Christina Matsumoto and explained the purpose of today's visit.
The incident report was regarding 52 missing Norco tablets belonging to resident #1 (R1) and a subsequent police visit regarding the missing medication. LPA Spencer interviewed the administrator, R1, and R1's responsible party (F1). LPA Spencer attempted to interview R1's physician but was unable to be reached. LPA Spencer collected copies of R1's face sheet, care plan, physician's report, medication self-administration review, police report, and in-service training log.
LPA Spencer reviewed R1's physician's report, medication self-administration review, and care plan showing that R1 is able to administer, order, and store own medications. The police incident report from 6/24/21 stated that R1 did not want to further investigate possible theft but believes that they were either stolen or misplaced. Police report also stated a possible medication misuse by R1. LPA reviewed the in-service training logs for the training conducted today, 7/7/21, in which staff were trained on theft and loss policies and resident rights.
The administrator stated that R1 is able to administer own medications but is required to keep them locked in the room to prevent theft. R1 has a private room but staff have access to the room. R1 and F1 stated that there have been pills missing in the last two months and believe staff may have stolen it. R1 now lock them up and tracks daily usage. Administrator stated that a nurse has been assigned to help R1 track the usage of the Norco pills. Administrator stated that in-service training was conducted but does not believe the pills were stolen as there have been prior theft incidences reported.
There were no deficiencies cited at this time. An exit interview was conducted with administrator and a copy of the report was emailed. |
