Interview on 11/15/23 at 9:13 A.M. with Representative #405 for the ancillary provider stated they did not have State of Ohio Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs (TDDD) licensure. He stated they were a Medical Entity, with a Medical Director licensed in the State of Ohio. Every other state in which they provided services did not require a special TDDD license and about three months of providing services in the Ohio area, they learned Ohio was an exception. He stated they applied for the license and were told they could continue providing services, license approval would take days. He stated an audit was conducted, and the Board of Pharmacy reported them. Simultaneously, the group had decided to stop providing services in Ohio unrelated to the licensure concerns. They rescinded their application for licensure. He stated they provided five specialized infusions that could be specialized based on resident needs. The intervention was created a couple of years ago and found to be beneficial for residents with chronic urinary tract infections (UTI), residents who did not eat or drink well, and/or weight loss concerns. He stated they presented the program to facility ownership.

F 0837 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Interview on 11/15/23 at 11:02 A.M. General Counsel #406 stated studies had shown hydration therapy improved and reduced risk of dehydration and re hospitalization. She stated she learned of this licensing concern on 11/14/23 and had contacted the General Counsel for the ancillary provider who reported when they started the process in Ohio they had been told they did not require TDDD license for Ohio. They reported they were initially told by the Board of Pharmacy they did not require an Ohio license, there were a ton of exemptions. They reported they applied for the license. General Counsel #406 stated the provider did not explain concerns with licensure when they announced they were no longer providing services. It was explained as a decrease in services related to rate freezes. She was not involved with the initial vetting process and could not provide specific information as to the steps involved in the approval. The corporation had started a compliance investigation on this with a compliance officer specific to this incident. At 12:25 P.M. General Counsel #406 revealed the contract had been signed on 12/09/22 by their Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The General Counsel at that time would have gone through a legal review with a multi-layered vetting process before it was presented to the CFO. She was in the process of investigating everything involved in the process and was still gathering information. Interview on 12/12/23 at 9:13 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the representative for the ancillary provider notified the facility either the last week of September or first week of October they would no longer provide the IV services. The DON confirmed six current Residents (#5, #50, #57, #67, #74 and #77) and 13 discharged Residents (#84, #85, #87, #88, #89, #90, #91, #92, #93, #94, #95, #96 and #97) received IV services by the ancillary provider. Interview on 12/12/23 at 9:30 A.M. with the Administrator revealed she was unaware of adverse outcomes related to the infusion of the medications. She was not aware of concerns related to TDDD licensure and stated the initial service agreement would have been initiated at the corporate level before she was employed by the facility. Review of the State of Ohio Terminal Distributor Licensure of Prescriber Practices https://www.pharmacy.ohio.gov/, dated 08/24/23, revealed a TDDD license allows a business entity to purchase, possess, and/or distribute dangerous drugs at specific locations. Terminal distributors of dangerous drugs include, but are not limited to, hospitals, pharmacies, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organizations, laboratories, nursing homes, and prescriber practices. Distribution includes the administration of drugs on-site to patients as well as providing medications to patients to take away from the facility for later use. Dangerous drugs are defined in the Ohio Revised Code as any drug that meets any of the following: 1. Requires a subscription; 2. Bears on the label a Federal Legend (Rx Only or Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription); 3. Is intended for injection into the human body; or 4. Any drug that is a biological product as defined in section 3715.01 of the Revised Code. Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 4729.51 states that no licensed manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackage, or wholesale distributor shall sell dangerous drugs to anyone other than the following: (1) a licensed terminal distributor of dangerous drugs; (2) Any person exempt from licensure as a terminal distributor of dangerous drugs under section 4729.541 of the Revised Code (3) a licensed manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackage, or wholesale distributor; or (4) A terminal distributor, manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackage, or wholesale distributor that is located in another state, is not engaged in the sale of dangerous drugs within this state, and is actively licensed to engage in the sale of dangerous drugs by the state in which the distributor conducts business. In general, the exemptions to Ohio's TDDD licensure requirements do not apply if the prescriber practice is engaged in drug compounding. Compounding is defined as the preparation, mixing, assembling, packaging, and labeling of one or more drugs.
