The DON speculated the reason the orders on the 01/16/19 MRR were not implemented was because the physician did not address the MRR until 06/12/19. She said the process was for pharmacy to hand the MRRs to the DON and then she would immediately hand them to the nurse and the nurse would enter them into the electronic system. She stated sometimes the physician will leave them in his mailbox for three months and not address them. When asked about the MRR dated 03/18/19, she stated a nurse check marked the other comment and didn't follow through with what the comment was. She revealed she didn't know what the comment was either. 365878 Page 3 of 4 365878 08/01/2019 Pine Ridge Skilled Nursing and Rehab 463 East Pike Street Morrow, OH 45152
