32 | There was an allegation that facility did not dispense medication as prescribed by a doctor. RP reported concerns of overmedication with antipsychotic medication. LPA reviewed Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the period 09/01/2022-10/12/2022. MAR did show antipsychotic medication administration and changing of dosage on 10/07. On 10/07 the physician ordered an increase, but the higher dose was never given because it was requested that it be lowered the next day. Per hospice representative this medication predates the admission to hospice and was not a part of the hospice comfort kit. A medicated patch used for pain management was ordered on 10/11, on 10/12 that dosage was doubled. Hospice representative indicated that facility does not apply that patch. Patch was applied once on 10/11 by qualified hospice staff. Although the allegation may be valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies cited during today's inspection.
Exit interview conducted with administrator. Copy of this report provided by email.
