Information received by the pharmacy further corroborated that staff did not place the initial order to fill prior to the medication running out on 3/18/2024. An order to fill was received on 3/20/2024 and medication was refilled/delivered on 3/21/2024. Therefore, the order delay resulted in medication being inaccessible to R2 if and when it was needed.
It was further alleged that staff is mismanaging residents’ medication. Through record review, the MAR divulged R2’s medication was “not in cart” on 3/18/2024. Interviews confirmed when staff document that medication is “not in cart”, it means resident finished the medication and a new order is needing to be placed. On the afternoon of 3/19/2024, S1 documented R2 refused the medication. On the morning of 3/20/2024, Staff #2 (S2) documented on the MAR that the medication was “not in cart will follow up”. The afternoon of 3/20/2024, S1 documented on the MAR that R2 was administered the medication. Verbal information received by the pharmacy confirmed that the medication order was placed on 3/20/2024 and filled on 3/21/2024. The previous order for that medication was placed in February of 2024. Therefore, the facility staff did not have medication to offer or provide to R2 as it was previously alleged by S1 on the listed dates.
Based on interviews and records review, the allegations of staff do not ensure resident is administered medications as prescribed, and staff is mismanaging resident's medications has been determined to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 3) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D).
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, 9099D, appeal rights, and LIC811-confidential names list were reviewed and provided to Administrator, Mollie Bowie. |
