Additionally, the facility name was not on the form. This was observed for at least 4 of the 7 survey days. The findings include. On the Health Care Center 2 unit, review of the day shift staff assignment sheet on 3/9, 3/10, 3/11, and 3/12/21 did not reveal the name of the facility or the total number and actual hours worked by categories of Registered Nurses (RN), Licensed Practical Nurses(LPN), and Certified Geriatric Nurse Aides (GNA) per shift. The staff assignment posting did have individual hours for each staff person but did not include a total number of hours. There were staff assigned to the other nursing home unit and the staff hours worked posting on one unit did not reflect the totals for the entire facility.

The DON (Director of Nurses) was made aware of this finding on 3/16/21 at 11:15 AM and stated the order needed to be clarified. Review of Resident #8's monthly pharmacist medication regimen review (MRR) in the EMR (electronic medical record) failed to reveal evidence that the pharmacist identified the discrepancy with the resident's acetaminophen order. On 4/22/20, 5/28/20, 6/29/20, 7/30/20, 8/28/20, 9/22/20, 10/22/20, 11/20/20, 12/14/20, 1/24/21, and 2/23/21 the pharmacist documented Medication regimen review completed.

On 9/22/20, the pharmacist documented a monthly MMR was completed for Resident #14 and a recommendation was made to nursing. Continued review of the resident's medical record failed to reveal documentation of the pharmacist's MRR recommendations. On 3/26/21 at 11:15, the DON was made aware of these findings and indicated that the pharmacist's MRR recommendations are documented on a form that is emailed to the DON, the physician, and other clinical staff. The MRR recommendation form is printed, and, once the recommendations are acted upon, the form is filed in the resident's medical record. The DON returned and provided the surveyor with Resident #14's MRR form dated 5/28/20 and a MRR form dated 9/22/20 and indicated the forms were printed from his/her emails. Review of Resident #14's MRR forms revealed, on 5/28/20, the pharmacist wrote All PRN (as needed) psychoactive medication orders require a 14 day stop date as of November 28, 2017. Non antipsychotic PRN orders may be extended if the practitioner feels it is necessary and reasons are well documented in the medical record. Please specify a duration for PRN lorazepam of 14 days. If duration is to extend past 14 days, please document justification in the medical record and specify the duration of the PRN order. Continued review of the medical record failed to reveal evidence that the pharmacist's recommendations had been addressed by the physician, and there was no indication that the medication irregularity was further addressed by the pharmacist when not acted upon by the physician. Review of Resident #14's pharmacist MRR form dated 9/22/20, the consultant pharmacist stated CBC (complete blood count) and CMP (complete metabolic panel) (blood tests) drawn in August per TAR but results not scanned into AOD (Answers on Demand) (EMR ).

At this time, the DON was made aware of the above findings and confirmed the facility staff failed to carry out the pharmacist's recommendations. 3) Review of Resident #3's electronic medical record on 3/15/21 revealed that the pharmacist had identified a medication irregularity on 1/22/21. The clinical coordinator (Staff #6) was interviewed at 3:15 PM on 3/15/21 for assistance in finding what was the identified medication irregularity and was it acted upon. The clinical coordinator looked around in her office and the adjacent charting room implied that there was not anything on the clip board. She was able to show me the pharmacist identified medication irregularity of 1/22/21 on her computer monitor. She informed me that she had opened an email. Review of the pharmacist documentation for the blood thinning medication [MEDICATION(S)] revealed that the facility had failed to respond to the pharmacist recommendation of 1/22/21.
