25 | On 1-26-23 at 3:15, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit regarding medication management. LPA met with Administrator Sara Mackedsy and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA interviewed Administrator and Staff 3 (S3). LPA also reviewed physician’s orders for resident1 (R1). Additionally, LPA reviewed facility’s medication training material. Based on interviews and record reviewed, it was determined that R1 had an order written on 7-21-22 by a Physician to give a Zoloft medication “twice a day for 30 days.” Additionally, the order contained a refill option for up to 5 refills. Medication was stopped on the 30th day. Interviews conducted revealed that the physician’s order as written should have been questioned and clarified with Physician to determine if R1 required the continued use of this medication. A review of facility’s medication training material revealed training component which states: “Communication with physician including instructions to follow up with physician over any concerns, including additional follow ups after 24 hours if no response is received.” Based on interviews and record reviews, it was determined facility did not conduct a necessary follow up in regard to a medication order discrepancy.
As a result of this case management visit, citation is issued under Title 22, Division 6 and noted on LIC 9099D. A civil penalty in the amount $250 is issued in addition to the citation due to a repeat violation within a 12-month period. An exit interview was conducted with Sara Mackedsy and a copy of this report was left with Sara. Appeal rights provided.
