(Continued from LIC9099 p.1) Staff additionally informed that medication training for Med Techs can be from a different state, per the regulations. Records review revealed corroboration of staff statements regarding S1's medication training. The records showed that S1 was previously a certified Medication Aide, Pharmacy Technician, and Nurse Aide with over 200 hours of medical training, including medication administration. Review of Medication Administration Records (MAR) and communication logs showed that no medication errors occurred during the timeframe of incident, and that two (2) residents refused medications, reflecting that their personal right to refuse was honored. Records additionally showed that two (2) NOC shift staff trained in medication administration came in early the day of incident to assist, due to the call-outs. Outside source records confirmed staff statements that there is no requirement for all of the medication training to be completed in the state of California. Based on records and interviews, the allegation that untrained staff administered medications is unfounded, meaning it was false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. The allegation has therefore been dismissed. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Chris Tharp, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
