This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

The AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration) Form 5000-3008 dated 9/23/22 showed primary diagnoses included orthostatic (to stand up) falls and patient risk alerts included falls. The form noted the resident ambulated with an assistive device and needed assistance of 1 staff person for transfers.

Findings: 1. Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include heart disease, diabetes, dementia, heart failure, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Review of the Medication Regimen Review Report revealed no monthly pharmacy reviews for resident #7 to indicate the pharmacist had reviewed the resident's drug regimen for the months of July, August and September 2022. 2. Resident #67 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of diverticulosis, peptic ulcer, suicidal ideations, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Review of the Medication Regimen Review Report revealed no monthly pharmacy reviews for resident #67 to indicate the pharmacist had reviewed the resident's drug regimen for the months of July, August, and November 2022. 3. Resident #63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hypertension, anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, alcohol abuse, and bone density disorder. Resident #63's care plan for acid reflux disease initiated 4/12/22 included intervention to give medications as ordered. Review of the physician's orders revealed an order for Protonix tablet delayed release 40 milligrams (mg) by mouth twice a day for acid reflux disease dated 5/03/22. Protonix (Pantoprazole) is a drug that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is recommended to be used at the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time needed to treat the condition. Published observational studies suggest use of this drug was associated with an increased risk of severe colon infection and bone density related fractures when taken more than once a day over a long period of time (retrieved on 12/28/22 from www.drugs.com). Review of the Medication Administration Report for November and December 2022 revealed resident #63 received the Protonix tablet delayed release 40 MG tablet twice a day from 11/01/22 to 12/21/22. Review of the consulting pharmacy Consultation Report for 10/01/22-10/31/22 revealed a recommendation to change the ordered Pantoprazole (Protonix) 40 MG twice a day to Omeprazole 20 MG once daily unless there was an indication that required it to be given twice a day. The rationale given for the recommendation was, dosing more frequently than once daily may increase the risk for adverse effects like bone density type fractures and colon infections. The report listed several references the consulting pharmacist used to make the recommendation.

On 12/22/22 at 2:16 PM, during a telephone interview, the Consultant Pharmacist stated he was on vacation and did not have his computer so he would not be able to answer any questions about specific residents. He explained his process was to review the medication regimen of all residents including new admissions monthly and make recommendations as necessary. He said he emailed the all consults to the facility monthly but if something is urgent, I would contact the Director of Nursing. He explained the physician did not have to agree with his recommendations, but had to respond to them. The Consultant Pharmacist described the purpose of having the pharmacist review the medications was to benefit the resident and improve their medication safety. He stated he felt as a pharmacist the recommendations were important to ensure the therapy the residents were on were the best for them. The Medication Regimen Review policy and procedure document with most recent revision date 3/03/20, described the procedure for staff to ensure the physician or other responsible parties received the medication review and acted upon the recommendations contained in them. The document described the procedure for the attending physician to document in the resident's health record that any irregularity was reviewed and what if any action was taken to address it, including any rationale if no changes were made. Additional procedures included actions for the facility staff to make if the recommendations were not addressed by the attending physician in a timely manner.
