Plan of correction
On July 23, 2025, all medications ordered for residents were received from the pharmacy and made available for administration. On the same date, all affected residents, their responsible parties, and the ordering physicians were notified of the missed doses that resulted from the pharmacy’s delay. To prevent a future recurrence, beginning on July 23, 2025, the Administrator and House Managers conducted in-service trainings with all Registered and Provisional Medication Aides. Training emphasized: a. immediate reporting to both the House Manager and Administrator when medications are not available for administration, b. immediate reporting when administering “last doses” of any medication, and c. immediate reporting if the facility’s next month’s medication cycle has not arrived at least two (2) days before the start of the next cycle. The facility’s Medication Management Plan was revised to incorporate these instructions and to establish procedures for posting and monitoring the pharmacy delivery schedule. The House Manager or designee will verify timely receipt of all new medication cycles at least two (2) days before each cycle begins and will communicate any delivery delays to the Administrator and Pharmacy Lead immediately. House Managers will review all medication deliveries and medication inventories weekly and report any discrepancies immediately to the Administrator.
