Every finding on record at Like Family Hospice and Palliative Care Inc

Upon patient record review, 1 of 11 (Patient #5) did not have evidence in the patient record that a review was completed of all prescription and non-prescription medications, including herbal remedies that could affect drug therapy. This review includes, but is not limited to: • Effectiveness of drug therapy • Drug side effects • Actual or potential drug interactions • Duplicate drug therapy Patient 5: The medication list indicates eye drop 0.05% 1 gtt tid in both eyes; this medication entry is unacceptable as it must specify the actual medication name Systane. Additionally, the medication list indicates both Pataday 0.2% 1 gtt daily in both eyes and Patanol 0.1% 1 gtt bid in both eyes; this is a duplicate drug order. (corrected onsite)
