Violations:
Standard #: 22VAC40-73-640-A
Complaint related: No
Description: Based on record review, the facility failed to implement its written plan for medication management, specifically regarding methods to ensure that each resident?s prescription medications and over-the counter drugs and supplements ordered for the resident are filled and refilled in a timely manner to avoid missed dosages.

Evidence:

1. The facility?s Medication Management Plan states that, ?Nurses and RMA?s shall be responsible for the timely ordering, and re-ordering of medications so that there are no missed doses or interruptions in the medications being administered. ? The policy further states, ?If a medication is not available to administer for any reason, the nurse/RMA will contact the physician to inform of when the medication will be made available and seek further instruction. The physician?s instructions will be documented on the (E) MAR.?

2. Resident #1 has a physician?s order for their blood sugar to be checked four times a day. The April 2023 Medical Administration Record for the resident states the resident?s blood sugar is to be checked at 6:00 am, 12:00 pm, 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. The MAR documented the resident?s blood sugar was not checked 29 times due to blood sugar supplies not being unavailable

3. Staff members #1 and #2 acknowledged the facility?s medication Management Plan was not followed.

Plan of Correction: Staff responsible have been trained on procedures when medications or supplies are getting low to ensure the resident has what they need. HCD and MCD will monitor par levels for medications and supplies.
