Based on medication storage observation, medical record review, staff interview, and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to ensure controlled substances and narcotic medication were disposed of in a timely manner. This affected four (#30, #88, #91, and #92) of four residents reviewed for disposition of controlled substances and narcotics upon discontinuation of orders or discharge. The facility census was 96.
Findings include: 1. Observation of the controlled substance drawer of the Whitney Way medication cart on 10/31/23 at 8:12 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 revealed Resident #88 had 55 pills of the nerve pain medication Lyrica in 25 milligram (mg) doses located in the drawer. Interview with LPN #200 during the observation on 10/31/23 at 8:12 A.M. verified Resident #88's Lyrica in the medication cart, and stated the Director of Nursing (DON) and unit managers are the only staff members permitted to remove a resident's controlled medications from the medication carts when the orders are discontinued or the resident discharges from the facility. 2. Observation of the controlled substances drawer of the Mckinley and Grant medication cart on 10/31/23 at 8:28 A.M. with LPN #23 revealed Resident #91 had six pills of the narcotic pain medication oxycodone instant release in five (5) mg doses; Resident #91 had 61 pills of Lyrica in 50 mg doses and 22 pills of the narcotic pain medication Dilaudid in two (2) mg doses; and Resident #30 had 20 pills of Dilaudid in 2 mg doses, nine (9) pills of the narcotic pain medication Percocet in 5-325 mg doses, and eight (8) pills of Percocet in 7.5-325 mg doses in the controlled substance drawer. Review of Resident #91's medical record revealed the resident was discharged from the facility on 09/25/23.

#92 all had narcotic medications in the controlled substance drawers that should have been removed from storage and destroyed. Further interview with the DON confirmed the most recent date the facility disposed of controlled and narcotic medications was on 08/31/23. Review of the facility's controlled substance policy, dated 08/20, revealed disposition is documented in the facility's drug destruction log or similar form. All controlled substances remaining in the facility after a resident has been discharged or an order discontinued are disposed of in the facility by the DON and consultant pharmacist (or other licensed person). Controlled substances remaining in the facility after the order has been discontinued or the resident has been discharged are retained in the facility in a securely locked area with restricted access until destroyed in accordance with facility policy and state regulations. Accountability records for discontinued controlled substances are maintained with the unused supply until it is destroyed or disposed of, and then stored for five years or as required by applicable law or regulation. The consultant pharmacy or designee routinely monitors controlled substance storage, records, and expiration dates during routine medication storage inspections. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00147657.
