25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christine Dolores arrived unannounced to conduct a case management - incident visit. LPA met with Associate Executive Director (AED), Anh "Audrey" Bui. The purpose of the visit was to obtain additional information on incident reports the Department received regarding missed medications.
On 09/19/2022, the facility reported 26 residents in memory care who had missed their AM medications due to insufficient medtechs that morning and lack of communication. On 09/20/2022, the facility reported the incident to the Department, informed the resident's responsible parties, and resident's physician's of the missed medications. The facility staff monitored the resident's for 48 hours and no residents displayed adverse reactions due to the missed medication.
After the incident, the facility had provided training with the staff involved and hired multiple medtechs and nurses. Going forward, the facility had developed a plan in place if this incident were to happen in the future. On 09/26/2022, the facility had conducted an in-service training to all medtechs and nurses on the call-off policy and additional information relating to their job duties. AED will send LPA documentation of the training by 10/04/2022.
The following documents were obtained to include R1's physician's report and needs and services plan.
A deficiency was cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22.
This report was reviewed with Audrey Bui and a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
